Cadeby Lt Railway

14th May 2005

The Rev. E.R. 'Teddy' Boston built the two-foot gauge Cadeby Lt Railway in the grounds of the rectory at Cadeby, Leicestershire in the early 1960's - not something that individuals did in those days! Through this and some of his other related activities he became well known to those with a railway bent until his passing on 1st April 1986.
Unfortunately I never met him, moving to Leicester as I did in December 1987, but I did have the subsequent pleasure of the railway as his widow Audrey continued to run it with a small band of helpers right up until 14th/ 15th May 2005 when it closed for the last time.
