This site was established by Wal Pilz (1927-2016) to share historical information depicted in photos and images of old scenes of the Rylstone District. Wal's belief was that sharing history was the best way to create a living history for Rylstone and the surrounding district. In Wal's memory, the site will continue to operate as an online database and you are invited to contribute images and information.

Local men laying the first railway track in the Rylstone area.
Small point, this would be maintenance to existing line, replacing sleepers note the new sleepers to the right. The line was opened to Rylstone in 1884.
Good point - thanks Ocky. Could you give me your family name for reference when I transfer your comment to the blog - send by email direct if you wish.
