I hadn't thought of Hurricane, let alone realised there was a GW loco of that name - but here it is - although I see that there is a smaller loco of that name above, it's quite a nice photo.

OK I can offer Sun Chariot Another weather type - I am not sure how many this will run to - not many I'd guess. However there's one which the recent weather in America brings to mind. (Edit - Tornado - which I have just realised is how we got into weather originally! I think we will be back to a wildcard again shortly)

It's funny looking at a building I once visited for meetings - on the first floor. It was in the early 90s, I think, otherwise you could have me looking out of a window waiting for the meeting to start. I usually got there early!

There are some additional fire appliances in my album 'Historic Commercial Vehicle Society 2013 run' http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/gallery/album/4246-historic-commercial-vehicle-society-2013-run/

Didn't we have a train with a ship in the background a bit earlier? Well here is a bit of a train (a van) with a big bit of a ship in the background. HMS Queen Elizabeth - Portsmouth 29.8.2017 Keep wild-card as suggested above.

In addition to this shot - http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/gallery/image/81320-1927-dennis-short-bros-bus-uf-1517/ there are a number of other old buses and coaches in my album 'Historic Commercial Vehicle Society 2013 run'

That would make sense - although I would think that the partition would more or less follow the centre-line - more = First / less = Third!

A rather one-sided look at the future HMS Queen Elizabeth (once commissioned). The queues for the harbour tours were mega, so only views from the Historic Dockyard were possible. I did take a couple from the water-bus to the RN Submarine Museum, but they were fuzzy long shots as you can see from the second photo down. The first is from an earlier visit, when we were told that the dredging operation was bringing up all sorts of things including WW2 ordnance. (Edited to add photos of the model) Finally HMS Alliance - a very well presented cold war period sub. with excellent descriptions from two former submariners.

To return to the subject of Newhaven Marine. It appears that it is still open - open enough to have its service cancelled on the coming strike days, but not open enough to appear in the published timetables or be listed as a station you can book from! Ho hum!

The S&DJR made provision for both third and first classes to share one lavatory. I suppose that if you felt you needed the provision you chose the compartments on either side. Maybe others chose not to travel in those compartments as the lavatory opened directly into them.

What a brilliant arrangement! To call it a mainline operation seems slightly misleading - I had a vision of full-length trains pounding across it at speed, before I read the article. I wonder if anyone has made a model yet. If not. having seen this post, someone has to be inspired to make a version - possibly without the roundhouse hiding the turntable. Thanks for uncovering this gem.

and there's more

I caught sight of Endurance when laid up in Portsmouth in August 2012, prior to being towed to Turkey for scrapping.

It's a time ago, but I think they had things for sale like the chunky marble flower vases that go on graves and some small statues. Across the road, the chippie would fry almost everything in batter - sausages, burgers, pizza slices?

I am fairly sure I have a Mica B packed away somewhere in the garage!

Along the Southern West Coastway there are several stations with steps up into the booking hall - Hove, Shoreham, Ford and Lancing. It is by no means uncommon. Perhaps they are more common in flat areas. There are so many examples of different entrance levels that you can decide what you like the look of. Best of luck with your project what ever way you go!

Going through photos from the last holiday we had, in 1989, before our two boys preferred not to be seen out with their parents, in a Glasgow Uni flat, self-catering, but with chips and a few battered sausages, from the local chippie - opposite which was an undertakers that had a sale on while we were there, I found this snap which I have always been amused by. (I was actually scanning photos of the Glasgow Transport Museum, then in Kelvin Hall, for another album in my gallery here.)

The Somerset Levels must count as a plain A train and a coach (as in road transport) please

I was going to use a nice one with Shrewsbury Abbey in the background, but Cathedral or Minster was asked for - so here is a less exciting one which fits the requirement more precisely. A train with a ship in the background please, next.

Not just any diesel - A train on a level crossing next please

A few photos from Shoreham, a little further west from us, beyond Brighton

Not a lot of human activity in this one - it just reminded me how filthy firemen got and how precarious clambering about on top of tenders must have been.

Thanks for the kind comment about my photo site. I don't think that hiding the signal from the opposite direction was the point. It was about giving a clear view from the front. However I don't know why the board doesn't extend to the stop position. I have only found one other board in Dad's GW photos, at Oldfield Park, and that is the same. When they painted white panels on bridges, for the same purpose, they were roughly square and a bit bigger, as they were set back a bit from the signal. I am sure there will be a knowledgeable person somewhere on RMweb who can enlighten us - should they pass this way,

I am sure you are aware that sometimes the Historic England listings show photos right at the very bottom. They seem to rely on people uploading photos, which they moderate, and then publish. I am not aware of any that are by 'official' photographers, employed by them. I have contributed some for Southwark, Battle, Seaford and possibly Hastings. I haven't done any for a year or so, so I have lost touch with what I have done. You can only find out by going to each property in turn and seeing if you have contributed one or more snaps. I haven't any for this street, apart from the Operating Theatre. There is one fairly good shot here, by one Charles Watson - not the one I used to work with. https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1385874 He has also done some which appear as a sort of mosaic for the other part of Mary Sheridan House. Getting into the listings is a bit tortuous, but once you have done it a couple of times it gets more obvious. I always use the 'advanced search'. If you don't know the street number you get the whole listing for that street, from which you can find what you want. Of course it only works for listed buildings, but it surprising how many are in that area.

If you look to the right of your building, the next door property is a slightly darker shade. That building was, in the '80s used by Guys Hospital. I know, because I went to several meetings there, representing Southwark Social Services. I believe it, Mary Sheridan House, is still in NHS use. I would doubt that Guys would have had the building jet-washed between now & then. I think that it was much like it looks in your photo. They were always a good-looking little group. My guess is that no.9, your building, would have been a similar shade. I get the impression that it has had a good scrub in the not too distant past. There are a group of houses not very far away, of a similar period, if the canopies over the doors of a couple of them are anything to go by. They clearly haven't (or hadn't when I photographed them in 2006) been cleaned, since the Clean Air Act came in. So they may give an indication of typical weathering.
