Ferryhill Railway Heritage Trust SCIO

About

The Trust was formed in 2007 with the support of Aberdeen City Council to take over responsibility for the remaining Listed buildings and Structures which form part of the former Ferryhill Motive Power Depot which operated between 1850-1998. These consisted of the former Engine Shed, Listed Grade “B” by Historic Environment Scotland, the Ransomes and Rapier Railway Turntable, Listed Grade “A” and the remaining associated structures and sidings including the unique coaling bank. As a Heritage Centre open to the public, our main purpose is preserving the history of the railway and providing a venue where people of all ages can come, currently on four days per week, to learn about the history of railways in the UK and the North East of Scotland and to contribute by volunteering to undertake a variety of preservation tasks. We provide an environment where people of all ages and abilities can join the development of the Heritage Centre.
