Steam train and viaduct with autumn trees

Join The Lyme Regis Society for a talk by Barrie Hedges looking at the history of the railway that served Lyme Regis.

Barrie Hedges: Against all Odds

The story of the Axminster to Lyme Regis Railway - the steam railway that served Lyme Regis, struggled to come into existence and survived just 62 years, yet it transformed the fortunes of the town at a critical point in its history.

For the Love of a Railway will tell the story of a line that was built against all odds and incredibly difficult to operate, but much loved by all who rode on it.

All are welcome, visitors cost £3.00 entry, members are free and card payments are available.

Refreshments are included.
