Appeal to Find More of Bridlington's Historic Map Tiles

The team behind the restoration of Bridlington Railway station's tiled route map are hopeful that more of the historic tiles can be found.

In 1987 Bridlington's beautiful NER tiled map was smashed up as the original parts of the station were demolished. The map was believed to have been lost for good but now 12 of the tiles from the original NER map have been located and stuck back on to a print of the map at the station.

The Yorkshire Coast Community Rail Partnership think other tiles could be lurking in private collections.

Rachel Osbourne is appealing for their return and says the tile map is rather rare.

Last month the Yorkshire Community Rail Partnership unveiled a print of the NER map complete with 12 of the original tiles.

Rachel Osbourne thinks more of the tiles could still be found.
