Railway Lecture

East Row Viaduct, Sandsend

On Friday 20th May, Dr. Michael Williams gave a lecture in Hinderwell Village Hall, on the Whitby, Redcar & Middlesbrough Union Railway.
Over 90 people attended, with some people travelling from as far away as Leeds, which shows the amount of interest that still exists in this historic line, which passed through the MulgraveWard between Staithes and Sandsend.
Dr Williams has gathered together new information for his dissertation in Railway Studies, and also showed a short video clip of a journey on a steam train between Sandsend and Loftus.  Only one member of the audience had seen this previously.
The MCRP group will publish Dr Willaims' work before the end of 2011.
