A museum dedicated to preserving the memory of the Bishop`s Castle Railway. The building is an example of a surviving Victorian railway building of which there are very few in South Shropshire. Take a look around our museum, talk to the volunteers and hear how the coming of the railway in 1865 changed the lives of the local community. The working mechanical weighbridge is one of only four known Parsons Weighbridges: two others in Shropshire and one in Northern Ireland.
Come along to one of our open days and meet like-minded people. Take a look around our centre, browse the 2nd hand railway books for sale in the G.W.R. Banana Van, all at £2 each. Follow the progress of the `Bishops Castle Station circa 1932` OO gauge model layout.

The museum is open on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month from 11am to 3pm.
