User Announcement: Lowdham Railway Heritage
We are pleased to announce our third early partner for openSignalBox: Lowdham Railway Heritage! This museum project started as the resignalling of the Nottingham to Newark line came to fruition and Lowdham box was one of four made redundant in 2016. A group of Lowdham residents formed a charity, Lowdham Railway Heritage (LRH) with the aim of moving the signalbox from its original inaccessible location to some spare land at the other end of the station and restoring it as far as possible to how it looked in the mid-1950s. The box has been running successful open days since summer 2021, with the first open day being on the 175th anniversary of the opening of the Nottingham to Lincoln railway in August 1846.
