1400 EIAG business and introduction to the talks
1430 Peter Jones – Early Essex Railways.
1455 Martin Rose – The Railway Through Audley End.
1520 Refreshment break.
1540 peter Wynn – Railway Engineers including Peter bruff.
1605 Alan White – The Impact of the Railway on the Development of Southend.
1630 Close.
As there is a limit on seating, and the event might attract more than the usual Annual Meeting, places must be booked in advance, at a cost of £2 for non-members of EIAG. In order to book a place, email Jane Giffould at jgiffould@aol.com, giving your name and email address.
There are only three (disabled) parking spaces at the Record Office, the nearest public car park being at Baddow Road, just a few minutes walking time away.
