Bluebell Railway Education Department Along the Line
BLUEBELL RAILWAY EDUCATION DEPARTMENT ALONG THE LINE FOR SCHOOLS SHEFFIELD PARK STATION 1. Approaching the station buildings along the drive, the picnic area can be seen to the right, adjacent to the River Ouse, where lunch can be taken. The river is little more than a stream today but it was once navigable from the sea at Newhaven to just short of Balcombe Viaduct – on the London to Brighton main line between Haywards Heath and Balcombe. The 11 million bricks used to construct the viaduct were transported up river from Lewes by barge. 2. The station is built in the Queen Anne country architectural style, a style used at all stations on the line and is painted in the colours of the line's initial operators, the London Brighton and South Coast Railway. The year in which the line opened – 1892 -can be found in the decorative plasterwork on the front of the station building. Passengers enter the station via the booking hall and purchase their old fashioned Edmondson cardboard tickets from the booking office. The station was originally lit by oil lamps but is now lit by a mix of evocative gas lighting and more modern electric lights. It sits astride the Greenwich Meridian, the exact (Photo: Bluebell Archives) location being marked by a plaque at the north end of platform 1. 3. The Railway houses and maintains its fleet of mainly steam locomotives at the station - currently it has some thirty engines in stock although only ten or so are in service at any given time – they need a boiler inspection and a new certificate every ten years. -
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. -

Attractions in Staffordshire
Attractions in Staffordshire The border between Stafordshire and Derbyshire is the River Dove so only a few hundred yards awa. It runs north to south. Below is a modified copy of the index to the folder normally found in the cottages full of 40 leaflets of attractions in Staffordshire . I have deleted some of the listings in the index as I consider it is unlikely they will be opening by the time of your stay, but others that are for time being closed, I have kept in as I am guessing there is a chance they might open up. Some of the attractions have been open throughout the lockdown (eg Manifold Valley, others are opening up in July and I have indicated those whose administrators have given no indication of when they are opening up. I have also added the web site details in view of their being no leaflets as such in the cottage. I have also removed listings of some leaflets that are generic. 1) Manifold Valley Visitor Centre 3 minutes drive time away; well recommended www.derbyshire-peakdistrict.co.uk/manifoldvalleyvisitorcentre.htm 2) Manifold Valley 2k away www.cressbrook.co.uk/features/manifold.php 3) Peak Wildlife park (18 minutes) open www.peakwildlifepark.co.uk 4) Kingsley Bird and Falconry Centre –only open for booked experiences, that’s always the case, but not open at moment. http://kingsleyfalconry.co.uk/ 5) Leek Architectural Trail (Leek is not fancy but architecturally decidedly interesting!) 6) Nicholson Museum and Art Gallery (in Leek) 7) Brindley Mill (far side of Leek) – closed www.brindleysmill.co.uk/ 8) Churnet Valley -
Virtual Exhibition
RAILEX 2021 Virtual Exhibition Kyle of Lochalsh, photo by Chris Nevard Risborough & District Model Railway Club Welcome to Railex 2021 It is disappointing that for the second year in a row, we are not able to hold Railex in the flesh so to speak. However, we hope this virtual show goes some way to compensate. In the best traditions of Railex past, we believe we have brought you a fine selection of layouts to view online. We feature many of the layouts that were booked for 2020 and 2021. Please see these as an appetiser as we intend to invite as many of these layouts as possible to the next couple of live Railex shows. In addition, this year we are featuring several home layouts of club members that never go on the exhibition circuit. As well as the usual list of Traders who traditionally attend our show, we have expanded the line-up to include other quality outlets for whom we don't normally have room. Please enjoy browsing amongst them. This year, as a first for us, we are hosting some demonstrations - some are prerecorded and can be viewed at any time and 4 will be live today with an opportunity for questions and answers afterwards - see the timetable on the Railex Show front page. Lockdown has reputedly attracted a large number of new followers to the hobby. If this is you, we hope you enjoy the section devoted to expanding your horizons and see what modern technology can do to enhance your pleasure. Finally, I hope you enjoy the show and we really look forward to welcoming you in person at Stoke Mandeville in 2022. -

Northeast England – a History of Flash Flooding
Northeast England – A history of flash flooding Introduction The main outcome of this review is a description of the extent of flooding during the major flash floods that have occurred over the period from the mid seventeenth century mainly from intense rainfall (many major storms with high totals but prolonged rainfall or thaw of melting snow have been omitted). This is presented as a flood chronicle with a summary description of each event. Sources of Information Descriptive information is contained in newspaper reports, diaries and further back in time, from Quarter Sessions bridge accounts and ecclesiastical records. The initial source for this study has been from Land of Singing Waters –Rivers and Great floods of Northumbria by the author of this chronology. This is supplemented by material from a card index set up during the research for Land of Singing Waters but which was not used in the book. The information in this book has in turn been taken from a variety of sources including newspaper accounts. A further search through newspaper records has been carried out using the British Newspaper Archive. This is a searchable archive with respect to key words where all occurrences of these words can be viewed. The search can be restricted by newspaper, by county, by region or for the whole of the UK. The search can also be restricted by decade, year and month. The full newspaper archive for northeast England has been searched year by year for occurrences of the words ‘flood’ and ‘thunder’. It was considered that occurrences of these words would identify any floods which might result from heavy rainfall. -
