This year sees the 150th anniversary of the opening of New Mills central railway station – some would argue we still have the original rolling stock.
To celebrate there are lots of events – everything from retro train journeys, model railway and railwayana exhibitions, walks, talks and general merriment.
As we are celebrating jointly with our Cheshire neighbours from Marple we will hold some of the events in conjunction and as part of that plan two walks on the 4th and 5th of July – one from Marple to New Mills to link in with the One World Festival and the following day from New Mills Heritage Centre to meet up with the Marple lock festival.
Keep up to date with all the New Mills 150 events in the events listings.
