Discover Thornbury’s hidden railway…

We can’t hold guided walks in person at the moment, because of limits on numbers, but thanks to a brilliant collaboration between the museum’s own Meg Wise, Claire Jaggard of My Thornbury and Chipping Sodbury photographer Rich McD, we can offer you an online photographic walk along the line of Thornbury’s railway.

Many thanks to Meg, Claire and Rich for putting this walk together.

Check it out.  There will be so many things you didn’t know about Thornbury’s railway line!

We’re very busy on social media…

Our social media pages are humming, especially our Facebook page.

Images are posted most days, showing Thornbury and the surrounding villages at different times in their history.

Some of those images are supplied by our sister website Thornbury Roots. An example of a Thornbury Roots picture is the photo above, showing a charabanc outing by Thornbury Baptist Church to Cheddar Caves. Not much social distancing going on there!

Our Facebook followers are sending us lots of local historical photos too, so a big THANK YOU to all of them.

We’re finding out a huge amount from all these contributors, who are sharing their memories of people and places.

So, do check us out on Facebook… you never know what you’ll find out… or what information you may be able to share with us…
