Talking Tees Valley: Dining on the Railways

This March we are looking at what it was like dining on the railways. We explore the beginnings of how eating and travelling came about and how the 1920s turned the experience of ‘eating on the go’ into fine dining luxury.

This activity pack contains images, discussion points and activities for you to enjoy.
