Welcome to the Appleby Heritage Centre
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- About Us
- Appleby Training and Heritage Centre Limited was set up in 1996 to convert a decaying Midland Railway goods shed, set just outside Appleby Railway Station alongside the Settle-Carlisle Railway, into a workshop for restoring heritage vehicles whilst providing local employment, training in traditional skills and providing a much needed workshop in East Cumbria.
- Heritage
- A major part of the Centre's activities involves restoring old railway carriages and artefacts for various companies and organisations, including museums. Our previous major contracts have included clients such as the Llanfair and Welshpool Light Railway where we restored an old Austrian B17 Zillertalbahn coach (which had to have electric lighting and heating added, as well as discrete disabled access incorporated into the design), and the Beamish Open Air Museum, for whom we restored a Sunderland B16 tram. This tram is now used at the museum for public carriage.
