To celebrate the 175th anniversary of the starting of construction on the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway over Shap, we are holding an exhibition in
The Exhibit 'A' Gallery of railway art, photographs and memorabilia as well as special events throughout the month of August.
In conjunction with Shap Local History Society, we are organising walks, talks and events to celebrate our long links with the railway and its history.
A Model Railway Exhibition is being held in Shap Memorial Hall on the
18th August with local model railway societies demonstrating working layouts and static models.
