World War II Exhibition

The Shrewsbury Railway Heritage Trust (SRHT) is set to transport visitors back in time with a compelling World War 2 exhibition at Abbey Station, commemorating the building's vital role as Shrewsbury’s Air Raid Precautions (ARP) Headquarters during the conflict.

Organised by SRHT Director and Trustee David Morris, the exhibition promises a fascinating display of wartime memorabilia, including original WW2 ARP cycles, lifelike mannequins, an ‘unexploded bomb’ replica, and an array of historic military vehicles.

The event aims to shed light on Abbey Station’s lesser-known, yet crucial, function in directing Shrewsbury’s Fire and Rescue services during air raids.
