West Somerset Railway Heritage Trust WSRHT

New official WSRHT Website announcement

The Heritage Trust is pleased to announce that its official website will be ready for its inaugural launch next week, on Monday 16th August 2021. So please visit the new website a week today!

Following the successful Government’s Culture Recovery Fund funding in April 2021, the Heritage Trust used this package for support in various ways. Our Education Outreach Programme, reopening our museums and renovating our website have been some of the few projects the grant has financially benefited.

Since Spring 2021, Website Content Manager, Matt Sutton, has created a new design alongside a Taunton-based company, Distinctive UK, to set up the new online showcase for the Trust. Folks will notice some minor transition changes between the two websites in the coming weeks; so, please bear with us during this switch.

The Trust would like to take this opportunity to thank Steve Edge for his wealth of involvement and expertise with the original website since its creation.

To the right is a small snippet of the new website’s homepage, due published live next Monday. To view the new website post-Monday, go to www.wsrht.co.uk.

Join us as a Museum Volunteer.

WEST SOMERSET RAILWAY HERITAGE TRUST

DO YOU:

Love a bit of history?

Enjoy chatting to people?

Happy to work with children and families?

Keen on the WSR and its heritage?

If you’ve nodded “yes” to any of the above, we’d love you to join us as a museum volunteer.

Gauge Museum at Blue Anchor

We’re looking for volunteer stewards for the Gauge Museum at Blue Anchor Station on running days during the school holidays and for special events.

You’ll have an induction period alongside a mentor, and we’re very happy to arrange part-day shifts.

The role is simple: welcome visitors, share a little about the museum, and work alongside the station staff.

Interested (or just curious)? Please email Ian Camp (Curator) via info@wsrht.co.uk and put “Blue Anchor stewarding” in the subject line.

Fancy getting involved over at Bishops Lydeard?

We’re on the lookout for more friendly faces to join our team, especially as the museum is getting bigger and busier these days!

If Bishops Lydeard sounds like your kind of place, just drop us a line using the same email, but pop “Bishops Lydeard stewarding” in the subject so we know what you’re after!

And don’t forget – you can always support the WSRHT by becoming a member. Just ping us at info@wsrht.co.uk and pop “membership” in the subject line.

Keep up with what we’re doing, follow the Trust on Facebook!
