Ah yes, I remember those Jubilees thundering through Hest Bank station, near Carnforth. On the down line from Scotland they picked up water from the troughs just up the line and if you were unlucky, or lucky, depending upon your point of view, you would be showered with the overflow as we stood at the level crossing just before the station; our water sodden note books barely surviving the week. Great fun and oh to be a child in 1953.

Just about a half a mile down the track is Vulcan Village where the Foundry used to be and on the gable end of the first house is a plaque. I think it must have been removed from the foundry wall prior to demolition and fixed on the house. I noticed it to-day in passing and took a photo.  |
