Each year the Trust hosts a ceremony at which our annual awards - Preservationist of the Year, Young Preservationist of the Year, Lifetime Achievement Award - as well as project Restoration Award certificates - are presented by our patron, HRH Prince Michael of Kent.
Kew Bridge Steam Museum
The 2008 ceremony took place on 25th June at the Kew Bridge Steam Museum. This is located in an 1836 pumping station originally responsible for the supply of piped water to much of West London.
Now home to a collection of steam engines (with and without wheels), it formed an impressive backdrop to the presentation ceremonies.
Preservationist of the Year
The Transport Trust awards its premier trophy to an individual who has made an outstanding contribution to the cause of transport heritage preservation. Look here to see who received the 2008 Preservationist of the Year Award from Prince Michael.
Young Preservationist of the Year
The Transport Trust also salutes younger members of the transport preservation movement who, despite their age, have already made a notable contribution. Look here to see who received the 2008 Young Preservationist of the Year Award.
Lifetime Achievement
The Transport Trust also salutes members of the transport preservation movement who, across periods of many years, have made a sustained and major contribution. Look here to see who received a 2008 Lifetime Achievement Award from Prince Michael.
