Ned Williams: The Railway to Wombourne

  • Codsall Village Hall 59 Wolverhampton Road Codsall, WV8 1PL United Kingdom (map)

Ned Williams joins us again to talk about the railway to Wombourne. It was one of the last additions made to the Great Western Railway's network and only provided passenger trains for seven years. This talk describes the line and its history and looks at what survives - the route of the line having become a very popular South Staffordshire footpath.
