Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railways Heritage Ltd

Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railways Heritage Ltd was initially established to resolve some complex legal issues surrounding ownership of the vehicles restored with support from the Heritage Lottery Fund. Its remit has subsequently been extended to include oversight of all heritage assets, including rolling stock, the development of heritage related policies, advising the Company & Trust on heritage related issues and serving as a vehicle for applying for and managing heritage related grant funding. F&WHRHL was also responsible for overseeing the management of the FR Museum collection and the FR Company's Archive collections.

Company Number 02231595, was incorporated in March 1988 as Greaves & Co Ltd and renamed as Ffestiniog Railway Heritage Ltd in July 2001. It was a non-trading limited company with, since February 2004, its directors being nominated by the Festiniog Railway Trust as representatives of the Trust, the Festiniog Railway Company, the Festiniog Railway Heritage Group and the Welsh Highland Railway Heritage Group.

As the FR Co. is now responsible for the WHR, heritage matters relevant to that railway also fell under the remit of FRHL. In 2013 it was renamed with its present title to reflect its expanded role.

In 2025 it was decided to close this company and to set up an Heritage Advisory Committee in its place. The F&WHRH Ltd was dissolved on 17 June 2025.
