Adopt our Railway Sign Board and Lamp
£50.00
Alnwick railway station was the terminus of the Alnwick Branch Line. This diverted from the East Coast Main Line at Alnmouth and was a critical link for the town. The branch line opened on 1st October 1850 and closed in January 1968, leaving Alnmouth as the nearest station. There is currently a project underway by the Aln Valley Railway to reopen the line.

We offer you the unique chance to help us raise essential funds. Adopt one of our fascinating items or displays, and become part of the story yourself.
