The National Lottery was established in 1994. Lottery funding for good causes includes heritage projects and charities. Lottery money is distributed by 13 independent National Lottery distributing bodies.[1]

National Lottery Heritage Fund

The Trustees of the National Heritage Memorial Fund (NHMF), known as the National Lottery Heritage Fund and previously the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF), distribute money raised by the Lottery that is allocated to heritage. The Fund is a non-departmental public body accountable to Parliament via the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). It is the largest dedicated funder of heritage in the UK, distributing over £400 million each year with individual grants upwards from £3,000.

Typically grants are in the form of match funding. These require the applicant provides a proportion of the project cost from the applicant’s own funds or raised by them in the form of other grants and donations. This can also include an in-kind amount, costed for volunteer hours that will be worked on that project.

Grants to the SVR and associations connected with it have comprised:

Date Project Grant Ref
1999 Construction of Kidderminster Carriage Shed £1,757,000 [2]
2001 Restoration of GNR 2701 Composite Corridor £84,300 [3]
2001 Kidderminster Railway Museum £177,500 [4]
2004 Staging of Railcar50 £49,100 [5]
2005 Western Locomotive Association overhaul of D1062 Western Courier £45,500
2005 Construction of The Engine House £3,464,000 [6]
2006 Trevithick 200 construction of Catch Me Who Can £10,000 [7]
2007-08 Recovery from the 2007 Storm Damage £250,000 [8]

2017-2019 Falling Sands Viaduct £925,600 [11]
2020 2020 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic £250,000 [12]

Note: in 2020 SVR(H) received a further £906,000 from the Culture Recovery Fund for Heritage. This was funded by Government and administered at arms length by Historic England and the National Lottery Heritage Fund.[13]

People's Postcode Lottery

In December 2017 the SVR Charitable Trust announced an award of £10,000 from the Postcode Local Trust, a grant-giving charity funded entirely by players of People's Postcode Lottery, to construct an Anderson shelter and covered seating area at The Engine House.

Welcome to the Severn Valley Railway Wiki

From this week's featured article
Eardington is situated on Eardington Bank, mid-way between Bridgnorth and Hampton Loade. In recent years, rebuilding the platform was completed in 2019 and the water tower was dismantled in 2021. Although the station no longer features in daily operations, it resumed use during gala events in 2023 more than 40 years since regular timetabled trains ceased. (Full article...)

For 101 years between 1862 and 1963, the Severn Valley Railway formed part of the national railway network, running for 40 miles between Hartlebury and Shrewsbury. Established as a separate company, it was mainly operated by the Great Western Railway (GWRGreat Western Railway) and later by British Railways (BRBritish Rail or British Railways).

The present day Severn Valley Railway (SVRSevern Valley Railway) was established in 1965 to preserve part of the line as a heritage railway. Today it has six stations and two halts and runs for 16 miles along the Severn Valley between Bridgnorth in Shropshire and Kidderminster in Worcestershire, following the course of the River Severn for much of its route. Operations involve a mixture of steam and heritage diesel-hauled services.

This unofficial website is a project aimed to collect information and record events relating to the SVRSevern Valley Railway, both past and present.

For timetables, fare information, and news about special events, please visit the SVR Official Website. Other news and information of interest to members, shareholders and enthusiasts can be found on SVRLive.

In April 2023 the SVRSevern Valley Railway announced the launch of a Survival Fund to enable it to overcome the current financial crisis and implement longer-term plans for its future. Information and details of how to donate may be found on the SVRSevern Valley Railway's Survival Fund page.
