AT THEIR next meeting, a group of railway enthusiasts will be hearing from visiting speaker Charlie Pritchard, who will bring to life the story of Thomas Brassey.
He will share with Wokingham Railway and Transport Club members how unsung railway hero Brassey (1805 to 1870) rose from farmer’s son to railway magnate, and the mark he left on the railway industry.
The group meets on the third Tuesday of the month for illustrated talks about heritage and steam railways, with the opportunity for refreshments and chat.
The event takes place at Wokingham Methodist Church, Bradbury Centre, on Tuesday, September 17, at 7.30pm.
Entry costs £5, including refreshments.
