Ancestral Locations

Railway Heritage

 

A selection of views of Preserved Railways throughout Great Britain.  These views celebrate  the distinctive and idiosyncratic architecture which creates an attractive backdrop to the work of all the volunteers engaged in preserving this important part of our heritage.  The pages will be updated and changed periodically.

 

Welcome to the Ancestral Locations website featuring Railway Heritage.  This is one of several websites operating under the umbrella of the original Ancestral Locations, founded in 1984.  The website features photogaphs of preserved railways throughout Great Britain.  These railways provided an important service to our ancestors, giving them the opportunity to expand their horizons well beyond their own town or village.  They reduced the cost and increased the availability of many consumer goods and supplies.  They provided employment and the ability to commute for employment.  For many people they took away isolation from the wider world.
