The sunrise behind the signal box this morning was awesome! Although we won’t be open for the rest of the year, we have a small team of people keeping the site ship shape. We look forward to welcoming visitors back in January!

I think we’re all feeling a bit down from recent events in the world. So today in our advent calendar we’re looking forward to a hopefully brighter time of 2022 when we celebrate our 40th anniversary! The pictures today are from past celebrations at Romsey facebook.com/15365031469749…

Happy new year everyone! Over Christmas hampshire was placed into tier 4, this means that we will be closed until further notice. We’re as disappointed as you are, but we know it’s the safest course of action for everyone. See you soon!

Lots of interesting local railway history in this quick video. Also featuring the Andover canal that runs along the back of our site!

The Sprat and Winkle line which joined Andover to Southampton is one of the key reasons there’s a junction at Romsey. Today the test way (a walking route) uses the old path of the railway. Lots of evidence of the railway can still be seen, take a look...

Looking for something to brighten up Tuesday evening? Take a virtual stroll along a part of the old Sprat and Winkle line. This week: Fullerton station. Can you solve the mystery?
