DonB Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 (edited) Worried about post grouping, eh? This is bound, to cause a fence. In certain areas of the country, a fence is a dealer in stolen property... Edit....rest of text removed, didn't say what I intended and drew an irate response from Nearholmer. Apologies to him and any one else I annoyed with my puerile attempt at humour. Edited July 16, 2018 by DonB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium corneliuslundie Posted July 15, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 15, 2018 (edited) Since it appears that the LNWR didn't advertise the Welsh Rockies I can only assume that they were invented after 1922. However, here is the earlier rendering: Or for some morthern northerly heights (not sure about the date): But if you want real mountains you need to travel further: But I need to play my cards better - though post Grouping I am afraid: No Trumps please.

Nearholmer Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 (edited) "........so designation of post-grouping items is??" This is a question that can cause fierce debate in old toy train collecting circles, where a lot of very collectible items date from the 1920s through to the 1950s, with tiny overspill into the 1960s, but I'd say that the most widely-recognised term is 'vintage', by analogy with vintage cars. 'Classic' is also used, but that tends to imply something about the materials and manufacturing techniques (mass produced from metal, not plastic) rather than the exact date, so 'tinplate' models made yesterday are admitted into the definition. 'Retro' is a slightly more 'hip' way of saying the same thing. But, so far as I know, none of the three terms is properly defined, and only a person who enjoyed provoking pointless arguments, or was so insensitive as not to realise that they would do so, would attempt to draw hard definitions!

south_tyne Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 (edited) Hi Edwardian - just spent a fascinating hour or so reading this thread! I love Norfolk as a lot of my family roots are there and I have lots of relatives still scattered across East Anglia. Also a big fan of light railways so this ticks all the boxes for me. It's a relatively rarely modelled period a well which always makes things interesting. Most of all, the whole discussion is highly entertaining, eclectic and different which is great. It has kept me entertained and I have learned a great deal.... I cannot believe I hadn't stumbled across CA before but will be sure to keep checking up now... it's all about he journey not necessarily the destination Keep up the fascinating work!

David That's interesting as several families up on the coast of Norfolk have connections to the Tyne/Wear area – mostly families involved in the coastwise coal trade. They would send one of their sons off to be their Friend in the North.

Tom Burnham Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Billy the Fish, eh? Hmm, given that it's a Madame Tussaud's poster, I'd guess it would be William Fish who was hanged at Kirkdale Gaol in Aug 1876 for the murder of a 7 year old girl at Blackburn. "He ascribed his falling into a vicious life to the abandonment of Sunday School teaching and the perusal of cheap noxious literature." Madame T was quick to place a waxwork of him in the Chamber of Horrors. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was an article about these family connections some years back in the Glaven Historian No.7 http://www.bahs.uk/publications/glaven-historian/gh-issues/ Thanks for that link, I'll have a look. The migration of folk northwards to work in the Durham coalfield is fascinating. My family came north from the Diss area, obviously for work, away from agricultural poverty to work down the pits. One hard life to another ultimately, better pay, but dangerous. Ironically part of my family have now returned there, to the Acle area, before spreading across Norfolk and Suffolk and I also had a couple of years working in Ipswich. Funny old world isn't. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Regularity Posted July 15, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 15, 2018 Looks like Warkworth to me - just south of Alnmouth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caley Jim Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Is it not just south of Spittal? That looks like the white sheeting covering Lindesfarne Castle you can just make out on the horizon. We spent a few nights in Berwick a month ago. Jim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold phil_sutters Posted July 15, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 15, 2018 (edited) It does look like its south of Alnmouth. On the left photo - looking south - there is a long man-made breakwater or similar construction in the far distance and the only one I can see on the map is at Amble, to the south and east of Warkworth.
