JRULM: Special Collections Guide: Railway Collection: The Edmonson Railway Collection He patented this machine, and was able to charge a royalty to railway companies on the basis of ten shillings per mile of the company's routes, so that a line 100 miles long had to pay him £50 per year. Milton was not a busy station, and Edmondson had plenty of time to apply his craftsman's training to the improvement of ticket issue. The Newcastle and Carlisle Railway had shown little interest in these inventions, so Edmondson transferred his allegiance to the Manchester and Leeds when it opened in 1839 and became the chief booking clerk at Manchester. rylibweb.man.ac.uk /data2/spcoll/brown/edmondlist.html

The Geordie Anthem The words for the first verse and chorus of the Blaydon Races are pretty familiar, but here is the full song for any lapsed Geordies out there. After discovering recently that I shared my birthday with George Ridley, the music-hall artiste who wrote the Blaydon Races, I decided to delve into the history of the song, which is known everywhere as the Geordies’ anthem. Talking of art, there’s a famous picture of the Blaydon Races which has recently been secured by Tyne and Wear Museums for display in Gateshead. www.suite101.com /article.cfm/folk_music/102344

COFEPOW - The Armed Forces - 125th A/T Regiment RA By November 1943 the railway was through, and a few months later those of us who remained were gradually sent down-river and congregated at base camps in the Tamuang, Kanburi, Chungkai area. The Burma-Siam railway, previously surveyed by both British and German engineers, and in each case turned down as being too expensive in the inevitable loss of man-power, was slowly growing under the harsh drive of the Japanese. The Regiment was spread in groups along the whole length of the proposed railway in Siam from Chungkai to Niki. www.cofepow.org.uk /pages/armedforces_125th.htm

A brief history of the Alston branch. To the south, subsidiaries of the Stockton and Darlington Railway Company were steadily progressing up the valley of the River Wear, and the Wear Valley Extension Railway was projected to construct a 38 mile line from Frosterley to Milton (the present Brampton station) on the Carlisle line, passing through Nenthead and Alston. Diesel multiple units operating from Blaydon shed had taken over the passenger services in 1959, allowing the engine shed at Alston to close, whilst the cessation of freight traffic enabled the signalling equipment on the branch to be abandoned. A light railway order has been obtained to cover the future construction of the line northwards from Kirkhaugh to Slaggyford, subject to the finalisation of a lease of the trackbed by both Northumberland County Council and Tynedale District Council. www.strps.org.uk /str/history.htm

This Lady was a tramp - This Is The North East archive SHE was described by the Daily Telegraph as a wandering lunatic, attended by the Co-op butcher from Consett and the porter from Blaydon railway station, who launched a colourful 20-year claim to one of the North-East's wealthiest estates. That she gained particular support in the Consett area may have been partly because of the number of Irish Catholics at the iron works and partly because she ordered free beer at the Railway Inn, promising a wondrous spread when finally her boast came in. Later, she set up a hut in the road outside, resisting all entreaties until officialdom succeeded where persuasion had failed and the Hexham Highways Board declared it an obstruction, fined the countess ten shillings and had the hut dismantled. archive.thisisthenortheast.co.uk /2001/04/05/174661.html

The Village of Rowlands Gill, Co. Durham The local railway station has been closed for many years for passenger traffic and now seems to have lost all industrial trade in competition with road services. The first move by Blaydon Council was to bring loads of prefabricated bungalows to the empty land between Rowlands Gill and Highfield Village to the west. Also when Irish workmen were visiting the area to build the railway it is recorded that a Special Constable was appointed to help the local priest to whip up his flock on pay-Friday nights and get them back from the Towneley to their billets. www.genuki.org.uk /big/eng/DUR/RowlandsGill
