Lovely to see the Hotel in its completed setting John.

 

That Box Brownie really has produced a great photo. I wonder what kids these days (Makes me sound old I know), would make of a Box Brownie and the 126 film....

Biscuits in a box?

Looking excellent John especially with the fire escape, better still with extras you're going to add

Some more pictures of the signal box.

Currently failing to build a 'Valley's' based layout, so I am hugely impressed by this layout.  (And how dare anyone say it drizzled in Rhondda - a liquid heat haze would be more accurate.  That or tipping it down like it did on my first day at Cowbridge.)

A colliery maybe?

The chapel that I attended and got married in is still there and is still a chapel, another one fifty yards down the road is now a house, the other chapels have been knocked down, the Church burned down in the 60's.

I also remember the Sunday School outings, GWR would put on a special train which was usually full, this went mostly to Barry Island.

Talking of chapels, when I was building the colliers houses, I couldn't figure out what would work at the bottom of the street, here's a test with adding a chapel in Photoshop, I did this many years ago, it was dumped for the garage and Nissen hut cafe cameo that I posted recently.
