The coming of the railways was a revolution. Roger Stanley will take a look at the local scene.

About the talk:  Bridlington railway station and yards have had an interesting history over the first 100 years of their existence. The talk investigates this history, which covers the establishment of a significant infrastructure, which is no longer to be seen, and the people who were involved.

About the speaker:  Roger is a Chartered Engineer who has spent a large part of his working career designing and developing gas turbines and turbochargers. He has a keen interest in engineering history, in particular the period of the industrial revolution, and since moving to Bridlington, a fascination in what was an extensive rail infrastructure in the town.
