The M & C Collection has been put together by Peter Mather and Phil Crosby of Bakewell and includes the mundane 'get-you-to-work' bikes through to the exotic sports tourers; From trials bikes and scramblers to speedway and racing machines. The collection is intended to reflect something of the development of the motorcycle from 1900 to the mid 1970's The purpose in opening this display to the public is two-fold, firstly that visitors may enjoy the fine engineering of British motorcycles and secondly, that a local charity might benefit from any proceeds received. Both Peter and Phil are volunteer drivers for Bakewell and Eyam Community Transport, a registered charity operating wheelchair accessible minibusses for the comunity in the Peak National park and is subject for there 'Motorcycles for Charity' project.
To compliment the motorcycles a fascinating array of period motor and motorcycling memorabilia is displayed providing a 'walk down memory lane' for many visitors and for the younger generation, an insight into 'days gone by'.
