* Announcing *

"Epitaph for a Railway" an illustrated talk by Trevor Buttle to be held in the Pocklington School sports hall which was the old Pocklington Railway Station. Trevor worked at Pocklington station in the early 1960s before going on to a career as a professional photographer, and he has collected a wealth of material about the local railway.

We expect this to be a very well attended talk about the old Pocklington Railway Station and the line which was closed by Beaching in 1964. We have moved this talk to the sports hall to make sure we can accommodate all who wish to attend.

The Pocklington School Sports Hall, (the old railway station). 7.30pm. Admission £2.00 - note the change of day of week - FRIDAY.
