The programme for the day is as follows: -
The Settle & Carlisle Railway continues to be a fascinating source of interest. CRA member and author David Occomore, who published a book in 2020 on its building, shares with us the benefit of his research in our morning session.
After lunch, another railway in our area of interest is discussed by our Archivist, Guy Wilson, who, many will remember, disentangled the railways of West Cumbria for us at the 2022 Spring Meeting.
William Nash, born in St. Bees, was a prolific railway photographer in the early 20th century. Andy Hallington, a CRA member, who has been cataloguing and developing detailed captions of Nash’s fine images, talks about his life and railway work history.
