Welcome to the Marlow & District Railway Society
Founded in 1977, we are a group of railway enthusiasts based in Marlow, Buckinghamshire, and with members from the surrounding districts, including High Wycombe, Bourne End, Henley, Maidenhead, Twyford, Reading and Wokingham. Our activities include regular monthly meetings at the Bourne End Community Centre and outings to places of railway interest (see the club gallery pages for some examples). We also publish our own illustrated magazine The Marlow Donkey. Meetings are open to non-members, but why not join us?
Our next public meeting will be on
Thursday 18th July 2024 at 7:30pm.

"Railways before the war...that is the Great War. Part 1".
A presentation of Black and White images, drawn from the Ken Nunn collection and scanned from glass plates, illustrating railways in Britain before the Great War. Tonight's is the first of three parts, starting with a few images from before the Great Boer War (as it was known at the time), and then featuring Eastern England, Scotland and Ireland. The Ken Nunn collection was acquired by the LCGB after Ken's death, and although it has now been transferred to the NRM, 'showing rights' to the scanned images were retained.
