A disused and derelict North Shropshire railway line brought back to life after 50 years has scooped a prestigious national award for volunteer excellence from the British Museum.
Cambrian Heritage Railways volunteer team has been named as the winner of the 2021 Marsh Award for Volunteers in Museum Learning nationally as well having scooped the award for the West Midlands region.
The Marsh Awards celebrate the outstanding contributions of people who are committed to social, cultural and environmental causes. They are run in partnership with the British Museum and recognise the best and most innovative ways in which volunteers engage the public with collections and projects. They worked tirelessly to clear vegetation and rebuild the crumbling infrastructure in order to open a heritage railway from Oswestry to Weston Wharf in April 2022.
Chairman, Rob Williams said: “We are all delighted the enormous hard work of our volunteers to re-open the railway has been recognised at a regional and national level.
