| - Brooklands Museum is a transport and aviation museum based in Surrey on the site of the former Brooklands motor racing circuit. It is located south of Weybridge, Surrey and was first opened regularly in 1991 on acres (m²) of the original 1907 motor-racing circuit. The museum is run by an independent charitable trust, founded in 1987, whose aim is to conserve, protect and interpret the unique heritage of the Brooklands site. The Site includes a variety of listed buildings such as the Edwardian former Brooklands Automobile Racing Club Clubhouse, the Members' Banking (the steepest section of the racing circuit) and the 1-in-4 Test Hill, which celebrated its centenary in March 2009. The latter two features are important parts of the Brooklands Scheduled Ancient Monument which was extended in 2002, the entire Brooklands site having been designated a Conservation Area by Surrey County Council in 1989. The Brooklands Trust Members, formed in 2008 after the Friends of Brooklands Museum and Brooklands Club amalgamated, is the official supporters' group for the Museum.
