Mike Attrill will join Doug Jones to describe aspects of our local railway history – providing more images and stories from Buriton’s past
Mike’s father, Cedric, was the last signalman to work in the signal-box which stood alongside the railway line above the recreation ground until 1971.
The talk will use pictures and stories from Buriton’s Heritage Bank archives (including the building of the railway with its challenging tunnel etc) as well as Mike’s knowledge of the social history that the line enabled: people employed on the railway, where they had lived and other implications for the village.
The talk will take place in the village hall on Wednesday 25th September, starting at 7.30pm.
Admission is free with a retiring collection and everyone is welcome.
