This exhibition is a unique display of almost 100 original framed railway poster prints and maps. Items include examples by well know artists such as Kenneth Steel, Frank Mason, Fred Taylor, Tom Eckersley and John Hassall.

 

The exhibition is a one of a kind and rare opportunity to view such a large collection for free. Posters include iconic destinations across Lincolnshire such as Mablethorpe, Cleethorpes and Skegness.

 

As part of the opening celebrations, railway expert and author Richard Furness will be giving a talk on local railway history and railway posters on Saturday, 11 January, 2pm to 3pm.

 

Tickets are free, but booking is essential. Please contact Grimsby Fishing Heritage Centre on 01472 323345 to reserve your place.

 

Councillor Hayden Dawkins, Portfolio Holder for Culture, Heritage and the Visitor Economy, said: “We are delighted to share this extraordinary collection with our visitors. The railway has played such an important part in the development of North East Lincolnshire and these posters are not only fascinating historical objects, but also beautiful pieces of art.”

 

Some posters will be for sale. Details can be found in the exhibition gallery.

 

The exhibition is free and opens to the public on Saturday, 11 January, running until Monday, 5 May 2025. Grimsby Fishing Heritage Centre is open: Tuesday to Saturday from 10am to 4pm.
