  1. Thanks for the detailed information Rangers. I tend to refer to the area as Barford Hill as that was the name of the substation where EMEB supplied BSC with power for the electric draglines and which stood in the field below the sidings with access from th A6003. I worked for EMEB. You are correct that the picture was taken from the Station Road junction with the A6003 and Storefield cottages away to the left. Geoff

    Dapol 'Western'

    Has no one suggested Western Front or has that already caused too many battle lines to be drawn? Geoff
  15. Gilbert, don't be fobbed off with the sucking of wind through the teeth and doleful shaking of the head when the washing machine 'technician' arrives. Our machine is well over 16 years old and still going strong, just like the navvy's broom. New motor, new control board, whatever, all courtesy of the British Gas maintenance plan. I think the case is the original!!!!! Geoff
  16. What's on your mind?
