In enhancing the journeys of passengers, it is vital to bring to life the places that the railway journey enables them to visit. Rail for Herefordshire have installed a stunning Ledbury Heritage Board at Ledbury station, the board has a unique design set within a garden planter, the ‘noticeboard’ element includes a map of the town, the history of the railway and outlines nearby walking routes. This artistically designed Heritage Information provides a much-needed visitor asset for the town whilst adding personality and local character to the station itself.
The heritage display cabinet welcomes passengers to Ledbury and was positioned on the station platform in 2021. With artwork and calligraphy by local artists it gives information on the heritage buildings with a map of the town together with a history of the coming of the railways. It was funded by the West Midlands Railway Your Community Your Fund scheme and now forms an integral part of the work of Beyond the Hills CSP in improving Ledbury station for visitors and community alike.
