FAWLEY RAILWAY MUSEUM COLLECTORS’ DAY

Sunday 22^nd June 10am till 4pm

This exciting bi-annual event, when Sir William McAlpine opens his private museum and railway at Henley-On-Thames for us, is on Sunday 22^nd June, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. All collectors of Railwayana and pictorial enamel advertising signs are invited, to view Sir William’s private railway and the largest collection of pictorial enamels in the U.K. (not normally open to the public), and to ride on the standard gauge steam railway, with its stations, signalbox, tunnel etc. through his estate and wildlife park. This is a wonderful day for enthusiasts to get together and chat, admire the exhibits, take photographs. No auction, no stalls, just good social fun, with food and wine available.

On the day we create a one-day exhibition, from items brought by you. This year the exhibition will consist of everything, except nameplates. You will be invited to bring special small items from your collection, anything from worksplates to buttons. There will also be a display of LMR maroon totems organised by Chris and Julian Rider (Tel. 01952-770199) of Totem Exchange. The display of your pictorial enamels is being organized by Kath and Stuart Furniss (Tel. 0114 2746629).
