28 Mar Open Day at Blythburgh Station
We have an Open Day at the site of Blythburgh Station on Sunday 3rd April between 10am and 4pm. Our volunteers will show you around and try and answer any questions you may have about the foundations of the station, the Good Shed and the Southwold Railway in general. We hope to have a 7 1/4 inch working steam loco running but please note that if we do, it will not be carrying any passengers. Entrance is free and we will be providing free Coffees and Teas. The site is circled in red on the photograph below. Access to the site is just off the A12 and is next to the Village Hall and almost opposite the White Hart PH. Look for the Blythburgh Station signs.
Work continues. The siding was infilled with earth, two panels of track laid in and outside of the shed and crumbled brick was barrowed in from a 3 ton pile and laid in between the rails inside and outside of the shed. More repairs were carried out to the fabric of the shed, Danny completed the pointing of the brickwork upon which the shed sits and a gate was erected.
