Heritage Sites at Risk

The BBC had an interesting article today about heritage sites at risk which looked at six internationally important sites currently at risk. The Bowes Railway was one and you can see the video here. The Bowes was opened in 1826 and is not only one of the world's first modern railways but is also the only surviving rope operated line left in existence. If you are interested in visiting you can find out more on their website. By visiting you'll see something quite unique and help preserve a bit of history. The railway is located near Sunderland and there are good bus links from that station.
