| 150th Year celebration for Earlestown |
|
|
| Written by Steven Dowd | |

I read a poster earlier today which announced that Sat 1st March, there will be a historical reenactment to celebrate the signing of the lease for the Viaduct Foundry which Sir Hardmen Earle signed from Messrs. Jones & Potts the founders, this lease was signed 150 yrs ago on 1st March 1853.
I read that a Descendant (great grandson i think) of Sir Hardman Earle will be travelling by Steam Train to Earlestown Station being in 1850s period costume at approx 2:45pm on Sat 1st March, and that he will be transported from the Station to the Viaduct Club, where he will meet (sombody?) dressed to play the part of Mssrs Jones & Potts. I will edit this posting later and maybe include a photo or two if I can get info before the event. And wil endevour to supply the website with a photo (or two) from the occasion. |
