A Suffolk railway museum has been recognised for the contribution it makes to the county’s heritage.
The Mid Suffolk Light Railway museum was presented with a certificate by the High Sheriff of Suffolk, Geoffrey Probert to mark the role of the museum in the local area.
He was joined at the event by his wife.
Marketing Manager, John Reeve said “They were really charming and interested in our progress so far.
“Needless to say we are delighted by this recognition”, said MSLR Chairman John Stark.
“This year we appeared on BBC2’s Great Railway Journeys, received planning permission to more than double our track length and formally opened our new Lottery funded Loco Restoration Shed so, dare I say it, we think the Middy is going places!
“And it deserves to be recognised as one of the key tourist attractions in Suffolk”
The museum’s next event will be Santa special trains.
