Sports ground gates go to STEAM.

Simon Kirk, Technical Director for David Wilson Homes and Ian Surtees of the STEAM Museum complete the hand over of the gates from the BR Social Club ground in Shrivenham Road.

The gates from the British Rail Social Club in Shrivenham Road have found a their way home to the former BR Works and  STEAM Museum, where it is hoped  they are to be displayed for the community to continue using them.

Davis Wilson Homes are developing the now disused sports ground, and rather than scrap the gates donated them to the museum which is situated yards from where they were built.
