Gauge Museum Blue Anchor
In 1985, the Great Western Railway celebrated its 150th anniversary. The GWR-themed Museum has many artefacts on display. The Gauge Museum Blue Anchor has needed some extensive refurbishment in the last few years, and the Trust hopes to re-open this Gauge Museum in the Spring of 2024.
