RARE RAIL MEMORABILIA STEAMS INTO DONCASTER’S FRENCHGATE SHOPPING CENTRE Rail enthusiasts and visitors up and down the country are being invited to Frenchgate Shopping Centre, Doncaster to see a haul of rare rail artefacts that have remained hidden for years. The artefacts will be displayed from the 6th February to 7th March as part of the Making Tracks – Past, Present and Future exhibition. It will showcase the borough’s rail heritage, the present day rail sector and the future of rail in Doncaster.
The exhibition is a collaboration between Frenchgate Shopping Centre, Doncaster Council, Business Doncaster, and Doncaster Museums and Art Gallery. It will feature historic exhibits including locomotive name plates and pictures of the Silverlink train signed by Sir Nigel Gresley - the railway engineer responsible for the world-famous Doncaster-built Mallard and Flying Scotsman steam locomotives. The famous Doncaster
Grammar School collection will also be on display. This collection started in the 1930s when pupils and teachers at the school (now Hall Cross Academy) set up a railway society. Over the years, members collected signs, nameplates, lamps, signal posts and thousands of other items of railwayana, building up an archive of items from the golden age of steam. Dave Rogerson, trustee of the collection, who
is helping to put on the exhibition at Frenchgate, said the exhibition was of ‘national importance’. “It is an amazing collection, but has been hidden away for too long. It’s well-known among railway circles, but it is time it was brought to a much wider audience. We are hoping many people will come out to see the items at Frenchgate - only a few people have had a glimpse, so hopefully this will make people aware of what is within the archive.”
The exhibition will also coincide with half-term activities and attractions at Frenchgate, including train-related workshops for youngsters on Wednesday February 22 and Thursday 23, plus a meet and greet opportunity with Thomas the Tank Engine and the Fat Controller on Friday February 24. The exhibition will go on display at Frenchgate in two units on the ground floor of the West Mall, from February 6 to until March 7.
