I just wish to thank you Mick for what was a most informative, and entertaining evening yesterday. There were a good number of photo’s which have not been seen before, and there were some interesting stories too. I’m looking forward to another evening with great anticipation.

 

Best regards,

 

 Rob.

Good afternoon, Mick. Sadly, because a tree has blown onto the railway just south of Beverley, I’ve been unable to attend the slideshow today. I was unable to arrange alternative transport, so I’m stuck at home this afternoon.

I hope it has gone well today, and hope there will be another one arranged soon.

 

Best regards,

 

 Rob.

Rob, thanks for your message, there was a good turnout and all seemed to enjoy the afternoon, so I must have got at least some of it eight.

Hello, with reference to the picture of Hensall Jct/Drax Jct. Did you know that in the trees to the left were, until quite recently, the ruined remains of Hensall Junction engine shed? Built by the HBR in 1885 and closed in 1914, but not demolished as the attached picture of 10th July 1937, by W.A.Camwell, shows.

Three more engine sheds with HBR connections: Bullcroft Junction in 1935 (W.A.Camwell); Denaby Junction first shed after a fire of July 1921 (Dr.J.Hollick) and the rebuilt Denaby Junction shed in 1930 (W.H.Whitworth), note the patch repair using as much as possible of the first building.
