'Teesdale Tracks and Derailed Dukes' by Chris Lloyd
Chris is well-known as Features Editor of the Northern Echo. He will describe the rise and fall of Teesdale’s railways: how the dale’s most powerful landowner went to dastardly lengths to prevent railways from arriving, yet when they came, they were the most extraordinary lines anywhere in the world over the wildest of terrain and the most stupendous of viaducts.
Doors open at 1.30pm. There is a QA available until 4pm.
Free of charge but please book tickets in advance to avoid disappointment.
In partnership with the North Eastern Railway Association.
