The Berrybrook Collection

Berrybrook Steam & Classics welcomes visitors to the ‘Berrybrook Collection’, an assembly of all things steam and motor related. The collection began in the 1970s, with Tony Anthony, then owner of Bridge Motors. Since then, material has been added by various other members of the family and now comprises well over three-thousand items, from books to brochures, and rare petrol cans to enamel signs.

With a history steeped in the southwest of England, we take pride in the fact that Berrybrook’s library includes a selection of unique ephemera providing a glance into the regions motoring past. Most recently, the library has become available to members of the Crashbox and Classic Car Club (CBCCC) and has gratefully received donations from some of its members.

The vast assortment of literature makes for an excellent source collection for enthusiasts, researchers, and clubs. We encourage any interested parties to search the library online and visit our premises in person to browse. We are also constantly looking to expand the collection, so if you are looking to find a new home for your literature please let us know.

Simply search by Title, Author, Type (e.g. manual/book/catalogue), Make, Model or Year, and take note of its location and identifier prior to your visit. This is a complimentary service and we do not ask for payment from visitors to look through our collection.
