Rolleston-on-Dove Station Heritage GrouRolleston-on-Dove Station Heritage Group (RSHG) is a volunteer organisation under the umbrella of The Rolleston Engineering and Transport Society (TREATS). The mission is to maintain the surviving railway artifacts as well as the fauna and flora.

New volunteers are always welcome to join monthly working parties convened on the first Saturday morning of every month, from 10am, weather permitting. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

Keeping a high profile in the locality the group attend various events with a display. Such events this coming season will include the Scouts Carnival, Rolleston Transport Festival and the Village Fair.

To arrest the interest of the younger generation, illustrated talks are presented to local schools, usually followed-up by a visit to site.

Lest We Forget

Our November Working Party proved to be a great success with the largest attendance for some time. Fallen leaves were removed from the platforms, plants and bulbs were planted by the cattle dock and new logs replaced rotten ones aligning the paths. The two images below demonstrate the large amount of leaves removed during the session.

The next Working Party is planned for Saturday 6th December

Another heritage station, newly restored at Wingfield, on the main line between Ambergate and Sheffield.
