– Speaker – Roger Hardingham – Settle to Carlisle Railway 150th
Anniversary.
Roger has built a career as an author writing and publishing numerous books and collecting and publishing historic film mainly related to railways and ocean liners. His publishing company Kingfisher Productions has an extensive catalogue of books and films in various formats. He has recently published a book “150 years of the Settle-Carlisle Railway” to coincide with the 150th anniversary of this railway line. Amongst other things Roger has also been a promotor of steam hauled main line charter trains and has been on the footplate of a number of locomotives over the years. Roger has a wealth of knowledge, photographs and personal stories to share with us. For anyone interested in trains, or history or the impact of Victorian Engineering at its best and how it compares with today this is a talk which should not be missed.
