Project Overview
Railways were an integral and essential part of our rich industrial heritage. The restoration of these railway stations will be an important part of a wider strategy for economic development local businesses and community members.

Grant support towards this project will sustain volunteerism and encourage increased community connection through local initiatives that promote the conservation of cultural and natural heritage, and celebration of culture and the arts.
