  • The Great Western Railway and the Celebration of Englishness
    THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY AND THE CELEBRATION OF ENGLISHNESS D.Phil. RAILWAY STUDIES I.R.S. OCTOBER 2000 THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY AND THE CELEBRATION OF ENGLISHNESS ALAN DAVID BENNETT M.A. D.Phil. RAILWAY STUDIES UNIVERSITY OF YORK INSTITUTE OF RAILWAY STUDIES OCTOBER 2000 ABSTRACT This thesis identifies the literary work of the Great Western Railway as marking a significant contribution to the discourse of cultural representation over the first four decades of the twentieth century and particularly so for the inter-war era. The compa- ny's work is considered in the context of definitive and invariably complex cultural per- spectives of its day, as mediated through the examination of the primary literature, com- pany works and other related sources, together with the historiographical focus of latter- day analysis. G.W.R. literary perspectives - historical, political, commercial-industrial and aesthetic - are thus compared and contrasted with both rival and convergent repre- sentations and contextualised within the process of historical development and ideolog- ical differentiations. Within this perspective of inter-war society, the G.W.R. literature is considered according to four principal themes: the rural-traditional representation and related his- torical-cultural identification in the perceived sense of inheritance and providential mis- sion; the company's extensive industrial interests, wherein regional, national and inter- national perspectives engaged a commercial-cultural construction of Empire; the 'Ocean Coast' imagery - the cultural formulation of the seashore in terms of a taxonomy of landscapes and resorts according to the structural principles of protocol, expectation and clientele and, finally, that of Anglo-Saxon-Celtic cultural characterisations with its agenda of ethnicity and gender, central in the context of this work to the definition of Englishness and community.

  • The Newsletter of the West Somerset Railway August 2018
    Online Newsletter August 2018 THE NEWSLETTER OF THE WEST SOMERSET RAILWAY AUGUST 2018 THE NEWSLETTER OF THE WEST SOMERSET RAILWAY AND ASSOCIATED ORGANISATIONS ‘Braunton’ joins the Summer line-up; An express steam locomotive from the great days of steam will be working steam trains on the West Somerset Railway on selected dates in August and September and will also feature in the WSR’s Autumn Steam Gala at the start of October. In addition it is currently in the guise of 34052 ‘Lord Dowding’, named after Air Marshall Sir Hugh Dowding, commander of Photograph Don Bishop Fighter Command during the Battle of Britain. This is particularly appropriate in this centenary year of the Royal Air Force although the engine is correctly identified as classmate 34046 “Braunton” (the original 34052 was scrapped in the 1960’s). Braunton” was built at Brighton in 1946 as one of Oliver Bulleid’s “Light Pacifics” for the Southern Railway. It was extensively rebuilt in 1959 and was withdrawn in the general run down of steam in the 1960’s. Its first return to working life from scrapyard condition followed work carried out by West Somerset Restoration at Williton. Today it is an icon of steam and based at Crewe from where it operates on mainline steam excursion trains. During August the locomotive will work the following trains:- On the 16th , 17th , 21th , 22nd , 23rd , 24th , 27th , 28th , 29th and 30th it will work the 11.15am from Bishops Lydeard and the 3.15pm from Minehead, Dates and times of September operations will be available later.

  • Friends of Stogumber Station
    FRIENDS OF STOGUMBER STATION Leading to a Better Railway st STOGUMBER station was first opened on 31 March 1862. Due to the steep sided bank on the platform side, the station building is unusually sited on the opposite side to the platform. In GWR days, the station boasted a goods shed and camping coach, and the cattle dock still exists. In 1971, as part of the Beeching axe, the Minehead branch closed taking the picturesque Stogumber station with it. HOWEVER, all was not lost as preservationists moved in, and in 1978 the station re-opened as part of the West Somerset Railway. TODAY, the Friends of Stogumber Station (FoSS) take care of, and run the station with the aim of replicating a Great Western Railway country station as it was prior to nationalisation in 1948. By joining FoSS you’ll receive a newsletter – the Buzzard Chronicle, whic h can be either e-mailed to you or sent through the post, as well as up-to-date information of the goings on at this one time typical country station. So why not join FoSS today and revisit the life of the isolated wayside station complete with steam trains passing by and a friendly cup of tea!
