The award is an important accolade for Shrewsbury Railway Heritage Trust and acknowledges the significant history and transport heritage of Abbey Station which was originally founded in 1866. It is now called the Abbey Station Visitor Centre; where people can discover the important railway heritage of Shrewsbury and the surrounding area, and most importantly the building is used as a community venue by social and charitable organisations. I am very pleased to announce that Shrewsbury’s Abbey Station has been awarded a prestigious Red Wheel heritage plaque by the National Transport Trust in recognition of the importance of the historic site. This will be the first Red Wheel for Shrewsbury, and one of only 150 in the UK. On behalf of the trustees may I take the opportunity to invite you to the official unveiling of the Red Wheel heritage plaque – and Reception – taking place on Thursday 14th December at Abbey Station, Abbey Foregate, Shrewsbury. Mrs Anna Turner, His Majesty the King’s Lord-Lieutenant for Shropshire has agreed to officially unveil our Red Wheel at 12.30pm. Light buffet refreshments/ tea/coffee will be provided. For catering purposes please reply by 30th November.
