The Meon Valley Railway Remembered – Alan Wallbank & Martin Rogers
In 2019 Alan Wallbank approached Wickham History Society, among others, for anyone locally with memories and information about the Meon Valley Railway to share for a short film he was making. The resulting half hour film is a fascinating mixture of memories and photos of the Meon Valley Railway. Martin Rogers will follow Alan’s film with a short talk about Wickham and the Meon Valley Railway.
