MR 175 Banners

The Banners from the Midland Railway 175 Exhibition

The exhibition was held over the weekend of Friday 10th May 2019 at Derby's Midland Hotel. As the majority of the Society's collection was in store at the time due to the Silk Mill refurbishment, the exhibition mainly took the form of information panels. This page is for those who were unable to attend the exhibition to see what the display looked like.

First, here are some general views of the room:

If you wish, you can view a short video tour of the exhibition hosted on YouTube.

Now the panels themselves:

These are relatively low resolution versions of the panels which, as the above photographs illustrate, took the form of 'pop up' roller banners. Each file will open in a new window or tab in your browser and are around 3Mb each in size. You should be able to zoom into the image without too much distortion of the photographs and scans used in the original banner.
