Known affectionately as ’The Middy’ the Mid-Suffolk Light Railway was one of those railways built during the latter days of the great railway age. Featuring a fully restored Mendlesham Station building, it is attempting to recreate the typical sleepy country station atmosphere of the 1930s - 1950s. The Doctor Allen Building houses a museum with displays of photos, artefacts and other memorabilia from the golden era. A lovely trackbed walk and picnic area also add to the appeal of this restoration project.
