Peterborough based Stanair Industrial Door Services Ltd are the latest company to make a donation to the Nene Valley Railway (NVR).
Stanair have given a £500 boost to the appeal made by the NVR as it chases its ambition to purchase and restore the old Victorian railway station at Wansford. The cost of buying this building is in the region of £160,000. If the railway can raise the money to purchase it, the National Lottery has indicated support for an application for the restoration and refurbishment of the building.
The overall aim of the project is to help preserve and develop the old railway station building as a visitor and community centre which will enable us to tell the story of our steam heritage and allow more visitors to have access to our local heritage.
If anyone would like to make a donation to this cause and help NRV achieve their goal, please contact June Pearton on 01780 784444.
