RMweb Gold TheSignalEngineer Posted April 10, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 10, 2016 These were taken in 1995. The first shows the Private Siding gate from the main line side, the second what was visible of the wagons from the railway fence.

RMweb Gold TheSignalEngineer Posted April 10, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 10, 2016 Many thanks I vaguely remember seeing traffic movements associated with that site - an 08 on a trip from Kidder, and a 25 leaving traffic in the up OWW loop at Droitwich - did traffic leaving the site have to run to Droitwich to run round? CHeers Phil It was a trailing connection from the Up Main in my day. There was no way back to Hartlebury. It may have been different before Elmley Lovett box was taken out (late 1960s?). The siding was connected to the Up Goods Loop which had a ground signal reading back through a crossover to the Down Main. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The siding was connected to the Up Goods Loop which had a ground signal reading back through a crossover to the Down Main. Looking at the Google view it looks as if the siding is still connected to the Up Goods Loop and the connection could still be there in the undergrowth.

bike2steam Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Good old British eccentricity, 'Charlie's Folly', or mini Woodhenge. Built by the landlord of the pub we had lunch in today, after taking the dogs for a walk. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cary hill Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I thought I'd have a go at posting possibly the oldest thing to feature on this thread so far: The Old Man of Beacon Hill 700 million years in the making and still not finished yet. I think there also is an ape's or chimp's head to be seen if you squint a bit. Taken earlier this week in Beacon Hill Country Park, NW Leicestershire. It is also the site of a Bronze Age Hill Fort. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some have projected that global temperatures would decline by up to 20 degrees." Look on the bright side, We can stop worrying about Global Warming!!

bike2steam Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 (edited) I wonder what archaeologists wil make of it in a couple of thousand years. Methinks it may've rotted by then. Perhaps a bit too subtle, but it is 'Hounstout Head' framed in the middle of the structure, in the far distance.

Pacific231G Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 (edited) Methinks it may've rotted by then. Post holes !It takes more than the timbers rotting away to defeat a good archaeologist and you'd be amazed at how much shows up from the air which is how Woodhenge was found. With only the post holes to go by and maybe a few glass "beakers" they'll have endless fun trying to figure out what was really there.

RMweb Premium petethemole Posted April 28, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 28, 2016 (edited) Interesting thought, would archeology in a couple of hundred years time involve recovering data from old computers? Before I retired we had already encountered this problem. Not so much from old computers as they had been taken away but we couldn't access the material produced by obsolete programs we no longer had, stored on outmoded media that we couldn't read. A two-volume proposed publication was so badly delayed due to lack of funding that it reached that state, although print-outs existed, and was eventually so out of date that the publication was abandoned.
