Middleton Railway song video, July 2024
The choir had a great time visiting the Middleton Railway to make a video for our Middleton Railway song written during lock down with our previous leader, Fran Wyburn. The song outlines some of the history of the railway which dates back to 1758 when the waggons were horse drawn, through to its current phase as a popular museum run by dedicated volunteers.
Middleton Railway really looked after us on the day, and even provided us with a dedicated carriage, Thanks, Middleton Railway!
