Give us a sign if you want to help!
After hanging on a garage wall in Lytham St Annes for around 40 years, ex-Richmond Station employee, Roger Spencer, has returned an old platform sign that he received when the station closed. The photo, taken in the Kings Head just recently, shows Roger handing over 'a special bit of Richmond history' to Trustee, Jim Jack.
"I'm really pleased that Richmond Station is going to become an active part of the community once again…" commented Roger, "and that this old sign has finally made its return journey home."
Beside the distinctive sign, Roger also has given us lots of other memorabilia from his collection, including timetables, posters, tickets and the like. All of these precious artefacts will become part of the station's permanent heritage collection, when we reopen the building.
