COAL YARD MEMORIES

There's a special feature article on Brigg railway station's coal yard/sidings in the latest issue of Telegraph Trains magazine, now on sale for 75p.
Many older Blog followers will remember the Brocklesby family as purveyors of fine 'nutty slack' to Brigg households in the days when central heating was rare and most homes, including the scores of council-owned ones, had coal fires.
There's plenty of other enjoyable reading in Telegraph Trains, although I'll have to declare an interest as the person who's put it all together!
