Thanks Ryan. It was uncovered in a project that Flicks did a few years ago called The Bigger picture.

I am reminded of Waiting for God, where Geoffrey (Tom's son) was talking about his wife Marion to Diana Trent. 'It's embarrassing. No-one can come to the door. She bit a pair of morons (meaning Mormons)'. I was doubled up with laughter!

I can remember a derailment at the north signal box in the very early fifties. There were wheels and things all over the place. I was about five, so this would be about 1951. My grandfather George Davies was a signalman at that box, but not on duty. We walked up from Railway Terrace to look at the damage.

The opening shots were at the Broad just outside my house,31 north road, I was 4 years old, Broad lane is next where my mums family lived next door to my dads family, I remember just after we moved into town some years later, that house, just before demolition, was totally flooded out. Happy days!

From the style of dress and the railway vehicles depicted, this was in the early - mid 1950's. The Thorneycroft lorry at 0.14 still has the GWR roundel and "Great Western Railway" on the body side panels. A van is clearly lettered for the LMS, and another vehicle also has the late pre-war 'pirate's eye' lettering style. To me that says the post nationalisation repainting / maintenance programme hasn't caught up with them yet. There's a wrecked open wagon with unpainted planks following an earlier repair, again a pointer to that period. The LMS van, incidentally is a Midland Railway one, from about 1910 - a GWR Mica (refrigerator) also appears and what's left of a standard GWR 12 ton box van. Nice shots of a medium sized steam crane at work, along with a Toad guard's brake van, and the Craven Arms junction loco sheds. Looks like a pretty messy derailment - signal box(?) demolished and some other lineside buildings, but presumably no one was killed or badly injured. If there had have been you'd be more likely to find an inquiry record. I wonder what was pulling the train, and how it happened.

At 15-14 the film shows my Gran Mabel Edwards outside her home at 43 Broad Street, I with my younger brother were both born in the room above where she is standing in the front doorway. we had moved to a new house at 4 Sandpits in 1952, high and dry up there and no need to keep an eye on the rising River Lugg.

Hello, and thank you for this little treasure. I was brought here by my research about Corn Dollies. Surprisingly (for me of course, being an Italian with a base in Ireland, a country where pubs thrive but that of pubs used to be a man's world in the past) here there are women who love their drinks either in quiet or in more lively atmosphere and how lovely to hear the Royal George's publican's accent: Scottish I guess, not sure he might be from the East. Congratulations and happy to be your first thumb up as for this video. Greetings. Kitia
