Avro Heritage Museum

Woodford · 12 miles

The Avro Heritage Museum occupies the former fire-station of Woodford Aerodrome in Woodford, Greater Manchester, England. Set on the site of the historic aerodrome, the museum opened to the public on 13 November 2015 after a redevelopment funded by BAE as part of the aerodrome’s sale for redevelopment. The conversion was carried out by Conlon Construction together with Cassidy + Ashton, following planning approval granted on 20 May 2014 and construction that began in August of that year. The new building provides roughly 11,700 sq ft of space, about 70 % larger than the earlier Avro Heritage Centre that had been housed in the personnel block and operated by appointment only on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Inside, visitors can explore an exhibition hall and a dedicated gallery that showcase the Avro Heritage Trust’s collection of more than 30,000 artefacts related to aircraft development. The display includes a series of murals formerly situated in the employee restaurant at Woodford. Supporting facilities comprise a café, reading rooms and classrooms, allowing for both casual visits and organised educational activities. The museum’s location within the former aerodrome complex makes it a focal point for those interested in the region’s aviation legacy, and recent planning approval in January 2026 confirms that an expansion is forthcoming. Access is via the surrounding Woodford area, with the nearest town identified as Woodford on OpenStreetMap.
