Weighbridge Railway Museum 2024

The museum explores how the coming of the Bishops Castle Railway in 1865 changed the lives of those in a small isolated community by enabling cheaper goods to come into the area, local produce to reach wider markets and make travel to the larger towns possible, thus bringing prosperity to the area.

The Bishop's Castle Railway Society was set up in 1989 to preserve remaining artefacts from the railway that opened in 1865 but was not profitable and it could not compete when road transport took over from the rails.
