    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.

    Truss bridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truss_bridge Truss bridge From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Truss bridge A truss bridge is a bridge composed of connected elements (typically straight) which may be stressed from tension, compression, or sometimes both in response to dynamic loads. Truss bridges are one of the oldest types of modern bridges. The basic types of truss bridges shown in this article have simple designs which could be easily analyzed by nineteenth and early twentieth century engineers. A truss bridge is economical to construct owing to its efficient use of materials.

  • St Francis of Assisi Parish Church, Ingleby Barwick
    St Francis of Assisi, Ingleby Barwick Parish Profile BARWICK WAY, INGLEBY BARWICK, STOCKTON-ON-TEES, TS17 0WD https://stfrancisib.org) 0 A message from the Rt Revd Paul Ferguson, Bishop of Whitby Thank you for your interest in the post of Vicar of Ingleby Barwick. Although Ingleby Barwick’s name reveals that there has been a settlement here for a thousand years, as you will see from the profile, today’s community is less than 50 years old, and still growing. There is a sense that it is continuing to establish its own social and civic identity, in which the role of the Church of England has a significant part to play — not least through the presence of our church primary and secondary academies. St Francis’, then, is the worshipping and serving hub for the whole community. That is reflected in the breadth of its style, at the core of which is the main Sunday eucharistic celebration. Alongside that well-established principle, the appointment of a Multiply minister (see the relevant page of the profile) has been a major step in diversifying our pattern of mission. The energy of St Francis’ worshipping life overflows into many other activities. Ingleby Barwick is an exciting place to be. There has been excellent strategic leadership during the time of its last incumbent, and scope for the parish — the largest by population in this archdeaconry — to move on further. If you come as our next vicar, you will find able lay leadership, a strong ethos of spiritual formation among worshippers, and potential to explore developments for the future.
