02 Activities
What the charity does
The Old Kiln Light Railway (OKLR) aims to maintain the industrial, cultural and military heritage of how local railways brought about transformation during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This includes how steam power enabled new ways of transporting goods and people faster and over longer distances than was previously possible by horsepower and barges, leading to the growth of towns.
