Meet outside the old front entrance to the museum (the entrance closest to the Railway Station)
29th April 1-3pm
Join Andrew McLean the National Railway Museum’s Assistant Director and Head Curator to explore the local histories of the National Railway Museum – including the changing uses of buildings from a good stores, a mineral office and a canteen and the trains that were built and maintained on the site. Along the way we’ll also hear about a stunning survival on the night of the 1942 Bedecker raids and how British Rail were intimately involved in design the museum we see now.
The old front entrance of the museum is now closed and the entrance further up Leeman Road is now being used. For this walk, we’ll meet at the old front entrance, the entrance closest to York Railway Station.
