Trowbridge Museum’s next exhibition, Full Steam Ahead: How the Railway changed Trowbridge, was officially opened on November 22 at midday by acclaimed railway authority Colin Maggs.
It is 160 years since the railways first came to Trowbridge and the exhibition will be looking at life before the railways came, so there will be fun facts about the railways themselves (the change from broad gauge to narrow gauge amongst other things) canals, toll roads, horse drawn carriages and drovers and what happened to life after the railways arrived, the development of the land, transporting goods, fun days out to the seaside and beyond.
They’ll be plenty of objects on display and children’s activities too.
