The Northampton & Lamport Railway welcomes visits from schools who wish to give their children the opportunity of discovering at first hand how the railways shaped our history.
They can experience the sights and sounds of a working railway and find out a little of what life was like for their parents, grandparents or even their great grandparents.
As part of Unit 9, Year 3/4 children can sample what life was like as an evacuee during the Second World War.
They travel to the station at Pitsford & Brampton, dressed for the 1940's period complete with label and gas mask box.
Right: Local school children, complete with ID cards and gas masks,
during a visit to Pitsford & Brampton station.
