Topic : The Cumbrian coastal railway

Our speaker at the December meeting on Thursday 12th is the well known local historian and author David Hindle.  He has written over a dozen books on local transport, entertainment and bird watching.  His subject will be the Cumbrian coastal railway one of the most scenic routes in the country.  Railways are a topic close to his heart having written about the histories of our local railways, the Longridge and the Whittingham Hospital lines, and his lavishly illustrated book on the Cumbrian coastal railway will be available to purchase.
