The Gosport Railway Society was formed in 1976 to act as a pressure group to try to ensure the preservation of the former Gosport Station, the colonnades of which are designated a Grade 2 listed building. The Society also concerns itself with the future of the three other surviving railway stations within the Borough of Gosport. |
|
|
The Society is also a general interest railway group and hold meetings every third Friday of the month in the Methodist Church Hall in Stoke Road. The meetings always comprise of a speaker on a specific railway subject and they begin at 8.00pm and all are always most welcome. |

The Society holds a very extensive photographic archive collection, mostly relating to railway topics on the Gosport peninsular, and these archives are very often used in talks to local groups, schools, clubs and colleges. The Society has, over the last few years, published five books dealing with the history of rail transport in the Gosport area and these are available from either the author Peter Keat who can be contacted on 023 9258 2499 or from local book sellers. To mark the centenary of Queen Victoria's last journey Peter Keat, with Oakwood Press, published a book dealing with the last three months of the Queens life and her last journey. This is a 96 page book with 90 illustrations and plans and is available from book shops, Oakwood Press or the author. |
