Sundew & The Great Walk 40th Anniversary Event at Rocks By Rail
Sunday July 20th
Do you remember the record breaking drag line excavator that walked its way in to East Midlands folklore in the summer of 1974 by inching its way from Exton Park to Corby?
If you do, and even if you don't, why not join us at Rocks By Rail to celebrate this massive machines epic journey? The museum saved one of Sundews driving cabs from the scrap men, and now you can come and see how we propose to restore it and preserve the Sundew story for future generations. We have a very full day planned, including - the unveiling of a major new piece of industrial art work commissioned by the Arts Council, an exhibition of previously unseen photos of Sundew sent in by supporters in response to our media campaign, steam hauled brake van rides, quarry demonstration trains, quarry machines in action, and a barbecue next to Sundews cab in our quarry viewing area.
Price: Adults £5, Children £2.50, Under 5's Free
