SUMMARY:Railway Advertising & Posters - Michael Willmot
DESCRIPTION:From the earliest days of rail travel\, poster advertising was used to encourage people to take the train.  Through the artwork of\, and captions on\, such posters we can catch a glimpse of not just the advances in engineering and in design\, but also the contemporary social concerns addressed in the advertising slogans.  But if you are not so interested in the history there is much to admire in the work of a glittering array of artists and poster designers stretching over a 200 year period.

SUMMARY:The North Eastern Railway from Stockton and Darlington to the ECML
DESCRIPTION:Physical meeting at Shenfield Parish Hall which will also be available on Zoom as a Hybrid Meeting. \nThe history of the NER was made-up of several earlier and smaller individual railways. The Tanfield Railway\, originally a wagonway dating from as early as 1725\, the iconic Stockton and Darlington Railway\, the Clarence Railway\, Stanhope & Tyne Railway\, Newcastle & Carlisle Railway\, the Leeds & Selby and more\, made the ultimate NER and the first East Coast Main Line. \nThe contribution of the latterly-discredited George Hudson\, The Railway King\, with was his foresight and ambition led to the establishment of that first route. All of the many changes from the first to the current East Coast main line via Doncaster\, York\, Darlington\, Durham and Newcastle to connect with the North British Railway at Berwick-on-Tweed are illustrated. \nThe NER also set the standard for early electrification\, a standard initially adopted by BR\, this too is illustrated.
