Calling at Kettering by Don Breckon. Jubilee class 4 - 6 - 0 locomotive no. 45684 Jutland at Kettering, with a northbound express from St Pancras. Boys from the town school mingle with porters and passengers enjoying the atmosphere of a main line station. The engine was built for the LMS in 1936 and withdrawn from service at the end of 1965. |
Yarmouth Station by Ivan Berryman. O2 class 0-4-4T No.29 Alverstone gently approaches Yarmouth Station in the summer of 1952 with a train from Newport to Freshwater. Just one year later this picturesque station was closed as the British Transport Commissions axe fell on branch lines around the country. |

Flt Lt John Boothman completes a victory run over the packed pier at Ryde, Isle of Wight as he wins the Schneider Trophy in Supermarine S6B, S1595 at a speed of 340mph. Later the same day, its sister aircraft S1596 broke the world air speed record at 379 mph, flown by Flt. Lt Stainforth. |

PS Ryde by Ivan Berryman. The venerable old paddle steamer Ryde has just backed away from Ryde pier, Isle of Wight, and is about to begin her journey across the Solent to Portsmouth in the summer of 1968. Just one year later the Ryde was withdrawn from service and, having spent a brief period as a floating nightclub, now languishes in the mud at Binfield, near Newport - a rusting hulk, though still recognisable as the proud war veteran she once was. |
Manor Class at Wilmcote Station by Robin Smith. No text for this item |
St Helens Station 1953 by Ivan Berryman. Passengers on St Helens Station await the arrival of the train from Bembridge in the early summer of 1953. Just months later this picturesque station and its branch would be closed forever, the busy quayside being superceded by the modernised Medina Wharf near Cowes. |
