Well I do use my left thumb for the capital letters.

I only type using one finger

Pity it's not a tombstone in front of the shop.

I would have gladly chipped in for the air fare as long as it was a one way ticket.

Sorry I must learn to read all of the post before I went in with both feet

I have even larger scale maps of some of the area before most of the railways(& roads were built.

There was a John Hutchinson hung for the murder of a five year old boy(January 1905) in Narrow Marsh in March 1905.

No Mick it would get nicked for scrap metal. (her hand bag alone would be worth a fortune. )

I have most of this area covered in large scale maps 50" to the mile dated 1950s The maps are that good that all the points & signals of the railways are shown

Might even take the camera with me.

Thanks for a quick answer Clifton I might have a look round t'marra.

Is it still possible to use Wilford bridge while work is being done ? If so I can get off the South Notts at Wilford Green bus & walk into Nottingham as I haven't done so for about two years I could the have a look at the tram works myself.

P.S."Granges" had smaller driving wheels than a "Hall"

This is a "Modified" Hall see above post. Granges had slightly raised outside frames above the cylinders

This is not a Modified Hall Modified halls were numbered 6959-6999, 7900-7929 What this standard "Hall" has is a "Hawksworth" tender. The outside steam pipes went higher up the boiler barrel on a modified Hall The main frames extended to to the buffer beam on a modified hall.

Would NOT have been a problem if M.T. hadn't closed down OUR mining industry in the 1980s & 1990s
