The SteamWorks site in Blyth Road lies adjacent to the 1879 Southwold Railway trackbed and close to the site of Southwold Station. Just ten minutes' walk from the town centre, it is where The Southwold Railway Trust volunteers are working on locomotives and rolling stock, with the aim of re-creating the experience of travelling on the 3-foot gauge Southwold Railway (operated 1879-1929).
Open Days are taking place on selected dates between 14th July and 2nd September - come and see how this site is being transformed, the 3-foot gauge steam engine Scaldwell, the Blyth Valley Light Railway (a 7.25 inch railway), and learn more of what the Trust is achieving. Refreshments available. Shop. All Welcome.

Looking at the rise of the Academies and some very high profile women artists such as Elisabeth Vigee-le-Brun (official artist to Marie Antoinette) and her pupils. Also the rise of the Neo-Classical style which arose hand in hand with the French Revolution.
This is one of twelve talks by Tania Harrington on GIRL POWER - A History of Women Artists. The series examines the life and work of over 100 women artists.
