Re: STEAM ENGINES AND WATERWHEELS
With Stanley's absence today I would like to announce that I took delivery earlier of a Mamod steam engine. It's for my Grandson the next time he visits in an attempt to draw him away from the iPad, we'll see.

Re: POLITICS CORNER
I mainly only come on this site for Forgotten Corners and the Steam engine posts (with the odd Marine Engineers) if the truth be known, if life was only so simple. Democracy can upset a group of inward looking groups at the drop of a hat. This has not been a good year for the left....

Re: Clara Hebden
Hi Ian,
sadly Roberts body was not identified after the war and his name is remembered on the memorial at Arras in France.
Is there a way to find the plot?

Re: STEEPLEJACK'S CORNER 2012
Being a Middleton lad I was very interested in the photo taken from the top of the stack but had trouble placing the buildings. I hope you don't mind Stanley but I shared it with some friends who informed me that the photo seems to be reversed. If that is the case then the second photo taken inside ...

Thank you guys for the help, I managed to get it all into alphabetical order...It wasn't as hard as I thought. All I have to do now is to put the corresponding photos to match the new numbers.

Re: Gnr WILFRED ANKER, in from the cold?
I'm a very happy Chappie!, it was about tens years ago when I first started looking for him and now he is "In from the Cold"
I'll pop down to see him tomorrow and take his temporary cross home.
My Thanks to all made this little act of Remembrance possible.
