The Ecclesbourne Valley Railway - A Remarkable Story - Eric Boultbee
Wednesday 20th May 2026 2.00pm - 4.00pm
The talk is a presentation about how we turned a derelict railway into a successful {and Derbyshire's longest} heritage railway, the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway from Duffield to Wirksworth – Eric will cover its history, development, the closure and the rebuilding since EVR was acquired and how we have turned it into the enterprise it is today.
Wednesday 17th June 2026 2.00pm - 4.00pm
Joseph Paxton, known as the busiest man in England during the early Victorian era rose from a lowly position because of his love for horticulture. He joined the horticultural society in 1820’s and quickly excelled. He attracted the attention of the 6th Duke of Devonshire who engaged him as Head Gardener at Chatsworth. The rest is history. From gardening to designing buildings but he always supported the Duke on his extensive travels. His expertise still resonates today.
