Undated, unidentified strangely grim pre-1918 postcard: 'On cloudy days the family rarely ventured more than 36' beyond their heavily veiled dining room'. Single half glazed door with side lights & hard to reach top light. Very popular in pre WW1 semis. The bifold of its day.

A new archaeological discovery 🧐

For the first time, we now know that Saxon London's urban centre extended further west than previously known.

The findings have been revealed by archaeologists from UCL Archaeology South-East, following their work on excavations beneath our Sainsbury Wing

Last week, you could always have taken the 19:00 London-Edinburgh using an £87 Super Off-Peak fare. Well, fares have been simplified: Tomorrow night there's just ONE easy-to-understand fare on the 19:00, £193, take it or leave it...

We’re delighted to award a grant to Hampshire Community Rail Partnership for their restoration of #WoolstonStationSignalBox to a value of £27,900. Derelict since the 1990s, so let’s hope it looks like this again sometime soon (pic 3). SWR Help Community Rail Network
