Aysgarth 1997 - 98
Neil Gill's Photos
In November 1997 the Wensleydale Railway Association (WRA) aquired the Aysgarth Station site, so the focus of the volunteers work switched to there from the old track bed near Castle Bolton.
Thanks go to Neil Gill's widow who gifted these photographs to the WRA. Neil Gill was a volunteer right from the very first working party.
If anyone can identify any of the volunteers, please let the webmaster know.
