MONTYS DIARY

Those splendid chaps at the Elsecar Heritage Railway have finally managed to get the level crossing in place!

After many years of wrangling & fund raising work has commenced on the last leg of the EHRs line extension project. The main stumbling block for which was the need to lay a level crossing across the road at the nearby village of Hemmingfield. It gives me great pleasure to announce that, at long last, the crossing has been constructed & the next section of line (which will run to Cortonwood) is now being laid.

Well done to everyone concerned!

MONTYS DIARY

An extraordinary turn of fate the other day. I was visiting the Elsecar Heritage Centre & enjoying a spot of lunch in Brambles tea room when I was approached by a party of American tourists. It turned out that they were members of the MHWAS & had traveled all the way from the states just to see where I live! It just so happened that I happened to be at home that day for one day only as I am currently shooting a one off TV special. My break meant that I was able to meet those dear people & give them a guided tour around the Heritage Centre!
