  • Railways List
    A guide and list to a collection of Historic Railway Documents www.railarchive.org.uk to e mail click here December 2017 1 Since July 1971, this private collection of printed railway documents from pre grouping and pre nationalisation railway companies based in the UK; has sought to expand it‟s collection with the aim of obtaining a printed sample from each independent railway company which operated (or obtained it‟s act of parliament and started construction). There were over 1,500 such companies and to date the Rail Archive has sourced samples from over 800 of these companies. Early in 2001 the collection needed to be assessed for insurance purposes to identify a suitable premium. The premium cost was significant enough to warrant a more secure and sustainable future for the collection. In 2002 The Rail Archive was set up with the following objectives: secure an on-going future for the collection in a public institution reduce the insurance premium continue to add to the collection add a private collection of railway photographs from 1970‟s onwards provide a public access facility promote the collection ensure that the collection remains together in perpetuity where practical ensure that sufficient finances were in place to achieve to above objectives The archive is now retained by The Bodleian Library in Oxford to deliver the above objectives. This guide which gives details of paperwork in the collection and a list of railway companies from which material is wanted. The aim is to collect an item of printed paperwork from each UK railway company ever opened.

  • Rhyd-Y-Car (41)
    Rhyd-y-car (41) What is it? ! This is a row of six cottages from Rhyd-y-car in Merthyr. In 1801, Merthyr was the largest town in Wales, with a population of 7,000. What do we know about the houses? ! They were moved from Merthyr in 1982 and re-erected in the Museum between 1984 and 1987. ! This is a good example of an early terrace. There were two terraces at Rhyd-y-car; there were 16 houses in one, and 13 in the other. ! The cottages were built around 1795-1800 by Richard Crawshay, an Ironmaster in Merthyr, to provide housing for his workers. They portray the following periods, showing how they might have looked if they hadn’t been moved to St Fagans: 1805; 1855; 1895; 1925; 1955; 1985. Rhyd-y-car (41) Who lived here? 1805 ! The cottage is decorated as the home of a young family from west Wales working in the iron ore mine. The rustic oak furniture comes from west Wales – it was given to the young couple as wedding presents. ! The iron ore miners belonged to the upper working class, and could afford to buy luxury goods. 1855 ! This was the home of Margaret Rosser, a 48-year-old widow who was originally from Carmarthenshire, her son John, who was 19, a 14-year-old daughter and, another son who was 12. Mrs Rosser made a living from selling milk around the area, her son John was a miner and the younger son probably worked underground too. ! Her husband, William Rosser, had died by the time of the 1851 Census.
