NORTHAMPTON AND LAMPORT RAILWAY - RAILWAY AT WAR 2014

It's always interesting to look back at 2014 1940's events because it's a reminder of  just how enjoyable it was! Also, of course, we can look forward to the upcoming 2015 wartime events! Railway at War at Northampton and Lamport Railway is always a popular and busy venue. Their 2014 event included a display of vintage cars and vehicles, British and American re-enactments and a demonstration of marching by the Home Guard at the station.


 We stepped back to the 1940's listening to the sounds of wartime music and enjoying the entertainment, and shelter, rations or afternoon tea was provided at the Women's Voluntary Service Rescue Tent!

 Costumed WWII re-enactors filled the venue and there were plenty of vintage stalls for some serious shopping! This was an interesting and popular event and 2015 is likely to be just as successful.
