 We’ve had a busy few weeks at the FLA. A flurry of emails and press releases have been sent out, and we’re already starting to receive some wonderful submissions. Tracey and Mark have been out and about, visiting Barnstaple’s recent RailFest event, which celebrated the opening of the town’s railway station 170 years ago in 1854.
There were some lovely layouts on display, both in the Pannier Market and upstairs in the Guildhall building, along with some fascinating photos documenting the history of North Devon’s railway network. There were details of restoration projects, showing not only the sheer amount of work needed to save aspects of our rail heritage, but also the commitment and dedication of the organisations and volunteers who undertake this work. If you are, or have been, part of a railway restoration project, if you work or volunteer at one of the North Devon stations, if you’re a passenger with fond memories of train journeys, then we’d love to chat with you and invite you to become part of our project by sharing your memories for us to preserve for the future. Contact Tracey by email or use the contact form on our website here and let’s start working together to preserve our valuable memories.
