Heritage Fund interpretation project seeks railway stories

AS part of a new interpretation project, the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railways, Britain’s longest preserved steam railway, is asking people living between Blaenau Ffestiniog and Caernarfon, and beyond, to come forward with their railway stories.

These may include family history of ancestors who worked on the railways or how the railways impacted communities or lives.

The appeal is part of a National Lottery Heritage Fund project which will see a focus on new interpretation across both railways, as well as the new building works at Boston Lodge, the Ffestiniog Railway works, where locomotives and carriages have been built and maintained for almost 200 years.
