Watford’s Cassiobury Park has long been popular, its recent national awards proving how special it is. One of its main attractions is the miniature railway, loved by young and old, and about to commemorate sixty years serving the public.

To mark this anniversary there is to be a public exhibition and a commemorative booklet presenting the railway’s history. However, we would like your help. Do you have any old photographs of the railway? Do you have any stories or reminiscences of your time on it?

We want to include the cultural impact of the line; what it means to those living around Watford and the many users of Cassiobury Park over the years. The railway has long been thought of fondly, and your input is vital to the success of this special anniversary year.

If you would like to get in touch, please do email on watford@minirail.co.uk or get in touch on social media – it will be greatly appreciated.
