Annual Report

The year has been a successful one for the museum with almost 3,000 visitors through the door, many leaving very positive comments. Our new interactive display is virtually complete and looking very promising as a way to tell the history of our stretch of the Severn & Wye Railway and beyond. Work continues on the various railway vehicles owned by the Museum Trust with an LMS van about to be moved into position at Parkend to act as the way in to the proposed museum annex in the goods shed there. Work is still ongoing on securing a grant for the work on the goods shed at Parkend.
