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.

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.

  • 4 Chickney Church Via Chickney Lane
    HENHAM WALKS WALK No: 4 TITLE: Chickney Church via Chickney Lane Walk 4. Chickney Church via Chickney Lane Suitability: All. Time: 2 hours. Condition: Mainly firm paths. Old railway track and Hawland Wood can get very muddy. A small section is a permissive route. From the War Memorial walk east on the Debden Road. Keep the village ponds on your left, passing the Village Shop and Village Hall on your right. Walk to the end of the houses passing the new cemetery and a footpath to Henham Lodge Farm on your left. 150 yards further on take a footpath running diagonally left. This was the old railway track for the Thaxted Flyer which travelled from Elsenham to Thaxted. You pass Saffron Walden Rugby Club playing fields on your right. On reaching the road turn right and walk to Burnt House which is on your left on a right hand bend. Turn left into Chickney Lane, a green byway edged with a variety of trees. Continue walking for approximately ¾ mile, past the first waymarker post, until you reach the second waymarker post. Turn left into the field and walk round the wide grassy verge, keeping the hedge on your left to a T junction and turn right, until you reach the barns at the bottom of the field, a permissive path. As you walk round the verge you may see the Bush Springs shooting ground by the copse on the opposite side of the field. Turn left and take the track in front of the metal barn towards Chickney Church which you will see straight ahead.
