Sponsor a Brick

The proposed brickwork for facing the blockwork of the station platform has recently been passed by the County Conservation Officer. Here we see the 1 metre test section built for his examination, with help from Pickstock Homes of Oswestry. More details here.

Phase 1 of the Cambrian Heritage Railways project, to restore the line between Gobowen and Llanyblodwel, is now well underway but we need your help !

The 1860 platform by Oswestry Station Building is now being completely rebuilt with the help of the Future Jobs Fund workforce, with the block wall now completed. Now comes the costly bit with it being faced with the correct brick recommended by the County Conservation Officer.

The surface will also be returned to its original brick finish, bringing the platform back to as close to its original condition as is possible.

We’re now giving you the chance to sponsor one, two, three or any number of the bricks required to get this job completed. Each brick will be individually numbered and will be added to your sponsorship certificate - we’ll also provide you with a map to show you which bricks are yours when you visit us here in Oswestry !

This is a great way to get involved, for as little as £5 per brick, and your support will really make a significant difference.
