A Hitchin & Welwyn Garden City branch presentation by Chris Wright.
Chris Wright, a native of Gorleston-on-Sea, spent many school holidays 1959-1965 spotting in Hitchin. In a two-part presentation, the first Tuesday 10th October, the second Tuesday May 14th 2024, he will talk about his early spotting ventures in Norfolk; the end of steam in East Anglia; spotting at Benslow bridge; and the many trips he took from Hitchin, in the company of local spotters in pursuit of steam. Starting in the 1950’s, he will also talk about the increasingly frenetic drive to visit the last outposts of steam during 1965-1967.
Doors open 19:00.
