Aeron Valley Railway Society

THE society held its monthly meeting on Wednesday, 19 June, when we were entertained by a visit from Michael Clemens. Michael has a truly astonishing collection of archive film and still images.

He entertained with an interesting and varied selection from them, focussing on Midlands steam in the 1950s and 60s.
