RAILWAY poster expert Beverley Cole will take a trip through the posters of the Scarborough Collections at Scarborough Art Gallery on Friday evening next week.
The former curator of pictorial collections at the National Railway Museum in York will give an illustrated talk, entitled All Aboard!, on the theme of the many fine examples in the collections, including those by artist Frank Henry Mason, whose work went on show at the gallery last weekend.
