George Woodcock Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 Hello This all depends on your definition of East Anglia. In the 'Companion Guide to East Anglia' the author John Seymour said that East Anglia consisted of Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire. I live in Northamptonshire which is not in East Anglia, in fact it does not appear to fit easily into any area but in TV terms we are part of Look East as is Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire none of which are in the East. The old Soke of Peterborough was in Northamptonshire until the early sixties when it moved to Cambridgeshire where it is now. So by John Seymour's definition Peterborough is in East Anglia. In my previous post I said Spalding was in East Anglia which, being in Lincolnshire, is obviously incorrect. The Fens as portrayed in Fenchurch St Peter cover the counties of Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Lincolnshire so they too are not all in East Anglia. Fenchurch being in Cambridgeshire is however in East Anglia. The Fenland region is flat with big skies and is the archetypal East Anglian landscape. This is definitely not the case. Large parts of Norfolk and Suffolk are rolling countryside admittedly without ant areas of very high ground. Anyway I love the landscapes of Eastern England just as much as the mountains of the north and west. Those big skies always do it for me. Sorry to ramble on Stewart but that's the way I am.

George Woodcock Posted February 15, 2017 Author Share Posted February 15, 2017 Hello After it's successful outing to Stafford the layout was damaged on it's return to base. I am glad to say that it has now been repaired and is back in full working order. Thanks to Richard for his help in doing this rather delicate job. The layout now has a rest till July when it will be appearing at Railex North-East. Cheers George 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sf315 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Richard copes by running the layout While George talks to anybody who will listen. Nobby is busy complaining about how his name has been missed off on the layout owners bit in the show guide to all. Still it's a good layout. Have fun Steve 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
