New Lamps for Havenstreet Station

Following an appeal by IWSR Estates Manager Kim Chalkley to replace the 20-year-old lamp heads on the platform at Havenstreet Station sufficient funds have been raised to allow a local craftsman to begin the manufacture of a replacement set. The lamps are delivered as a bare frame finished in primer, Kim then has to glaze and finish paint them.

Each lamp costs approximately £300.00 each and more funding is required to see the project through to completion. If you would like to help please send your donation to 'Lamp Appeal', Havenstreet Station, Ryde, Isle of Wight PO33 4DS. Please make any cheques payable to 'Isle of Wight Steam Railway' with 'Lamp Appeal' written on the reverse.
