Although these are trams, even if you keep the originals yourself the Bus Archive may be interested in taking copies of them (assuming such a thing is technically possible with Blueprints, and it could be arranged) for their archives. Their London collection is held at the LT Museum Depot in Acton, although their main location is Walsall.

If you're willing to do so, it might be worth dropping them a line - busarchive.org.uk and see if they'd be interested.

Don't hang them - get copies done and hang those instead for display.

Original blueprints will fade in light; that's why they're always stored flat in drawers...

Or indeed the LT Museum themselves might be interested - they probably already have a copy, but you never. Or any of the other tramway museums (Crich, etc.) - if they're not interested, may be able to advise you as to value, etc.

Thanks duncombec,ill ask them if a museum wants them I'll probably just hand them over, as better with them than stuck in a draw with me.
