This coming weekend, 8th / 9th March, Fisherton Sarum will be attending the
Basingstoke is of course on the same ex London South Western Railway / Southern Railway South West mainline as, the inspiration for Fisherton Sarum, Salisbury. The steam shed at Basingstoke was also of the same, turn of the century, LSWR design and construction style
as at Salisbury along with Eastleigh and Plymouth Friary.
The identifiable features of all these sheds, despite being different sizes, were the glazed gable ends, ,brickwork style, rooflights and ventilators. Fisherton Sarum should, therefore, feel quite at home at this show. A similar watertank build could be found at Eastleigh whilst the wooden coal stage style could also be found at both Eastleigh and Plymouth Friary.
The doors of the exhibition are open to the public between 10:00 and 17:00 (16:00 on the Sunday) and as usual I look forward to meeting those of you coming along.
