The Bluebell Railway in Sussex plans to celebrate the 150th birthday of its Terrier Class locomotive No.72 Fenchurch with a special event at the end of July.
The celebrations take place from Friday, 29th to Sunday, 31st July. They start with a special “Birthday Bash” event that celebrates the history of transport during the last 150 years.
There will be STEM (science, technology, engineering, and maths) workshops, family activities and workshops, children’s authors, and displays by a variety of vintage transport from air, sea, land, and rail, plus special guest visiting locomotives. For children, there will be free history of transport trails that will help them trace a timeline from Fenchurch to the future.
