Market Harborough Historical Society May Meeting
The meeting will take place on Wednesday, May 13th, at the Market Harborough Methodist Church Hall, Northampton Road at 7.30.pm
The Society welcomes Dudley Brown as their May speaker on the subject of Market Harborough and the Railways.
Market Harborough and its surrounding areas may well be considered an historical microcosm of the nation's railways. Leicestershire was an early adopter of the new technology and Harborough, effectively straddling the border of Northamptonshire, soon became a busy railway crossroads. Dudley, a keen student of transport history, will examine the significance of our local railway infrastructure by describing its rise and subsequent fall to near demise, then modern regeneration.
The meeting will take place on Wednesday, May 13th, at the Market Harborough Methodist Church Hall, Northampton Road at 7.30.pm. For new members and visitors please note there is a car park directly opposite the church. There is also a charge of £3 for non-members plus a £1 entry fee for all.
