United Kingdom - Carnforth Station Heritage Centre

Carnforth, UK - Carnforth Station Heritage Centre and the Brief Encounter Refreshment Room opened on 17 October 2003 following 3 years work to renovate the derelict buildings of Carnforth Station. We celebrated our 10th anniversary in 2013 and would like to thank the organisations listed for their generous support.

We welcome visitors from all over the world, who come to enjoy the nostalgia of the station, which has been restored to it's 1940s glory when the Refreshment Room was used as the setting for David Lean's film Brief Encounter.

The Carnforth Station and Railway Trust Co Ltd was formed In November 1996 to restore the derelict buildings and a £1.5 million project was commenced in late 2000 in cooperation with Railtrack. The Heritage Centre and Brief Encounter Refreshment Room opened for business in October 2003.
