There is a large focus on railway transportation in the area, supported by an extensive online photography collection as well as extracts from 19th Century mapping.

The collection includes many photographs of and information about local sites and attractions including the river and windmill as well as a collection of maps dating from 1871 to 1997 which provide a fascinating insight as to how the town has changed and developed.
