I've just reported an Openreach driver, in a large van, who was also tailgating me and probably because he was concentrating on his phone for ages. They thanked me.

Did Anyone Travel From Sheffield Victoria Station ?
crookes replied to Victoria Stn's topic in Sheffield History & Expats
Hi hillsbro - It was Annesley based 64431, withdrawn two years later. Fitting that it was from Annesley as my grandfather was a signalman there, among other locations. -

School holidays often saw me off on the train to my Gran and Grandfathers, at Linby near Hucknall. Sometimes I got left there to stay for a week or more. It once took hours to get there because of engineering work. I took my first ever photograph on Victoria Station in 1954 - -

Lovely shot. Where was the vantage point? The moon on 6th Nov 2006. I don't think it's altered much since then. :-)

Nice shots all!

Photobucket is cheaper. I think it costs me about £8.50-£9 to store photos at full-size. My last WD 2tb external drive cost £69.

My grandparent’s house was lit by gas until 1953. Milk was delivered by horse and cart. The radio ran on accumulator batteries - no TV, no phone. The toilet was a plank of wood with a hole in it with bucket beneath. Disposal was on a plot below the allotments. Bathing was done in a tin bath in front of the fire. The shops were a couple of miles walk, or cycle ride.
