Edge Hill Station Travels Back To Christmases Gone By

Earlier this month Edge Hill Station played host to a Victorian Christmas fair organised and supported by Morrison, housing association Riverside and arts and cultural organisation Metal Culture.

The day was a great success and provided an opportunity for local people to experience Christmas as it would have been in Victorian Britain, and to learn about the importance of Edge Hill Station, which is the oldest passenger station in the world.

Everyone who attended the event enjoyed the festive craft and food stalls and the music which was provided by the Formby brass band and harpist Rebecca Joy Sharp. Children visiting the fair also had a chance to meet Father Christmas and share their Christmas wishes. Each child also received a special present from Santa, which was kindly donated by the Merseyside Residents Network, JC Construction, TRLJ Building Maintenance, Calder Builders, OP Builders and Stokes Clarkson. The toys, which were left over, have been donated to the Crosby Lions Toy Appeal.
