Story
Chris was long standing friend , a mentor, an acting god father and much more to many people young and old at the Great Cockcrow Railway . His 70 plus years of service at both Greywood and Cockcrow has shaped the ethos of our hobby. His bright personality shone on everyone he met. He will be missed. Rest in peace and keep steaming along in Heaven.

9 months agoHi All . Thanks again for your donation. We have raised over £800 with justgiving plus some cash donations making around £1000 . The best idea for a memorial so far is a small rose garden area possibly with a bench between platform 4 and the rear of the engine shed at Hardwick Central on the Great Cockcrow Railway . An ideal spot to see the trains arrive and depart. We may make the garden a joint memorial with Kim Richardson who also sadly passed away earlier in 2024 too. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.

I knew Chris all my life, he was at Greywood at the beginning of the GCR. He gave so much with hard work and leadership. Sad to say goodbye. Jane Newman (nee Samuel)
