Marking 40 years of the Railway Heritage Trust, Tim Hedley-Jones shares York projects and the challenges of restoring historic rail sites.
About this Event

The Railway Heritage Trust is 40 years old this year. It has awarded over 2000 grants worth more than £72 million to restore the best of the country’s railway heritage. During that time, it has awarded many grants to the buildings and structures of York’s railway heritage.

Tim Hedley-Jones, Director of the RHT, and a York resident, will talk about some of those projects and the challenges involved in restoring and re-purposing historic railway buildings.
