Yesterday afternoon I was driving through Prickwillow into Ely and saw a train of four HST power cars heading eastbound on the Norwich line. Had no chance to stop for a photo.

The author of the website “A London Inheritance” at www.alondoninheritance.com has just published his annual description of the impact of the Euston construction works on the local area. He has done these annually since 2017 to record the impact of the works, with the previous articles linked from this one. It seems that the site is shutting down rapidly.

This brings back memories of commuting to school from Orpington to London Bridge in the mid 1960s. The smell of the biscuit factory was mostly of custard creams, but none of the other smells were so pleasant. The school was on the corner of Tooley St and Tower Bridge Road, so we had smells from the Sarsons factory to the south, the Courage Brewery to the east, and the even more pungent leather works on the walk through the backstreets to the Grange Road baths for swimming lessons. I have avoided vinegar ever since.

Thanks Andy. Clearing the cookies has solved the problem.

Morning Andy. I am having this same problem. It started yesterday. The box comes up on every change of page, and I always accept the cookies. I am using an IPad. Sorry for disturbing your weekend.

Hello Michael. The link is www.geocaching.com and then search for cache number GC8P31J. It may not work as it is a premium member cache which may require paying a subscription. If it doesn’t I know the cache owner and will ask him whether I can publish the photo here (possibly the right way up). Lindsay

Many thanks for rotating them.

Burwell is not far from home, so I came out to look at the terminus area. The buildings are still present but the track to them is gated and I did not want to trespass, so the photo attached is a bit distant and into the sun. (If you are a Geocaching premium member there is a better photo from 2020 on the REALLY SideTracked- Burwell Tramway Terminus cache page.) A wide footpath starting at Factory Road (also known as Little Fen Drove on some maps) follows the course of the tramway northwards towards Soham. I attach a photo. I did not see any remains of the tramway in that area.
