West Somerset Railway Heritage Trust WSRHT

Another important milestone passed

Another important milestone was passed on March 3rd 2020 in the refurbishment process in the Gauge Museum with the completion of the high level work. During the next two days the scaffolding will be removed to start to move on to the final phase in finishing the task ready for the official reopening on April 11th. Some very hard work still remains for the dedicated team that has worked so hard over the last few weeks and the programme is very much on schedule. Some of the new displays and graphics have already been mounted and that part of the work also featured very much in our work today. A few images of the team at work:

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!
