In honour of ‘Railway 200,’ which celebrates the 200th anniversary of modern railway, join Bob Gwynne, railroad historian and former National Railway Museum Curator, as he looks at the rather longer history of guided transport than that title suggests. It includes places and people important to what is a complex history and one which stretches from the Gulf of Corinth to the Newlands Valley in Cumbria, from Nottinghamshire to Northumberland. We end with the birth of George Stephenson, the man who is generally regarded as the ‘father of railways’, though he was born next to a waggonway that was already old when he was a little child.

Tuesday, September 9th at 2:30 PM in the Tempest Anderson Lecture Theatre in the Yorkshire Museum
