Denbigh, Ruthin & Corwen Railway in the Vale of Clwyd – An illustrated talk by Fiona Gale

From the 1860s until the 1960s, the Vale of Clwyd was served by a railway which connected Corwen in the south to the North Wales coast line via Ruthin and Denbigh. Recently a project in Ruthin to refurbish a crane connected to the railway has worked as a catalyst for a wider project, collecting memories of the line, examining some of its features and researching a little of the history. The talk will explore some of this work.

Until her retirement, Fiona Gale was the County Archaeologist in Denbighshire. She has been a consultant and mentor to numerous community groups and has organised, led, or participated in, hundreds of events, guided tours, talks and lectures. In 2020 Fiona was appointed an MBE for her services to Heritage in Wales.
