  • U DYE WB Yeadon London & North Eastern 1847-1997 Railway Collection
    Hull History Centre: W.B. Yeadon London & North Eastern Railway collection U DYE W.B. Yeadon London & North Eastern 1847-1997 Railway collection Historical background: Willie Brayshaw Yeadon was born in Yeadon in the West Riding of Yorkshire on 28 June 1907. After his schooldays, he trained to become a mechanical engineer, and started work with Bradford Dyers, but was unfortunately made redundant in 1930 following the onset of terrible trading conditions. In 1931 he joined JH Fenner Ltd in Hull ('makers of improved beltings'), eventually becoming Sales Manager and then Marketing Manager, until his official retirement in 1972. He died at the age of 89 on 16 January 1997 in Hull Royal Infirmary after a short illness. By then he had become probably the country's leading authority on the London & North Eastern Railway and its locomotives. Indeed, Eric Fry, honorary editor of 'Locomotives of the LNER', writing in the 'Railway Observer' in March 1997, described him as possibly 'the foremost locomotive historian of all time'. Willie Yeadon's earliest railway interest had been the London & North Western Railway, with visits and family holidays to Shap summit and Tebay. On his removal to Hull, however, the London & North Eastern Railway became his main preoccupation, and he was particularly inspired by the development and progress of Sir Nigel Gresley's Pacific class locomotives during the 1930s. He began to collect railway photographs in 1933, and continued his interest after railway nationalisation in 1948. The British Railways modernisation programme undertaken from the mid - 1950s prompted him to investigate and record the history of every LNER locomotive.

  • Press Release = Press Information - Press Information - Press Information
    @PRESS RELEASE = PRESS INFORMATION - PRESS INFORMATION - PRESS INFORMATION 24 June 1994 CYLINDER PATTERNS ORDERED FOR NEW STEAM LOCOMOTIVE The A1 Steam Locomotive Trust, the registered charity which is building the new ex-LNER Class A1 Pacific 60163, the first mainline steam locomotive to be built in Britain since 1960, today announced that it had placed a £20,000 order with Kings Heath Patterns of Birmingham, for the manufacture of the new locomotive's three cylinder patterns. This order represents a major step towards the completion of the new locomotive as cylinder patterns are long lead-time items of great expense and are on the critical path towards the construction of the locomotive. The three cylinder patterns will be delivered over the next year, with the inside cylinder pattern being available for inspection at the A1 Steam Locomotive Trust's convention in Doncaster in September and the core boxes following by Christmas. The remaining two outside cylinder patterns will follow in April and July 1995. Although negotiations are currently taking place as to which company will cast the cylinders, it is anticipated that casting of the inside cylinder will take place in early 1995, with the outside two following on completion of their patterns. The cylinders for 60163 will be cast from a higher quality of iron than the cylinders of the original 49 A1s as part of the drive by the Trust to build the new locomotive to the highest possible quality. David Elliott, Technical Director, A1 Steam Locomotive Trust, commented: Last month we announced that work had begun on the manufacture of the new locomotive's frames.

In Britain, as in their other provinces, the Romans constructed a comprehensive network of paved trunk roads (i.e. surfaced highways) during their nearly four centuries of occupation (43 - 410 AD). This article focuses on the ca. 2,000 mi (3,200 km) of Roman roads in Britain shown on the Ordnance Survey's Map of Roman Britain.[1] This contains the most accurate and up-to-date layout of certain and probable routes that is readily available to the general public. The pre-Roman Britons used mostly unpaved trackways for their communications, including very ancient ones running along elevated ridges of hills, such as the South Downs Way, now a public long-distance footpath.
