The exhibition will be held in the new Learning Centre on Platform 2 of Pickering Station, open from 9.45am until 6pm daily.
It will feature four original watercolours by the Railway’s Artist in Residence, Christopher Ware. Three have been completed and the fourth will be finished during the exhibition. Together they tell the story of Bridge 30, a major engineering project undertaken on the Railway between Goathland and Grosmont during the worst winter in 30 years. Each watercolour depicts a key stage in the renewal of the bridge, which has seen a 145 year old Victorian structure replaced with a new steel bridge, at a cost of £750,000.
A total of 500 prints of each of the original watercolours will be on sale throughout the exhibition, with proceeds going towards the Railway’s Bridge and Wheels Appeal.
Entry to the art exhibition is free.
The art exhibition will move to the art studio at Levisham Station from 30th April until 16th May.
The North Yorkshire Moors Railway is just a 30 minute drive from Valley View Farm in Old Byland, so why not stay at one of our 4 star self catering cottages and visit the art exhibition.
