In steam days, this train ran from Lowestoft to London Liverpool Street daily. The loco is an ex-LNER B1 4-6-0 No 61264. This is the same train that crashed into the buffers at Norwich in 2004 causing disappointment for hundreds of people who gathered to see it. After withdrawal from Colwick in 1965, 61264 was used for a while as a stationary boiler, and then sent to Barry for scrapping (The only LNER engine to reach this yard). Rescued in 1976 a long-term rebuild eventually saw 61264 successfully in steam again in 1996. text/html 2006-05-07T20:34:26GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/2672 Nat Bocking 51.651939 -0.616648 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/165673 Tower converted into house as seen on Channel 4 Grand Designs The red-brick water tower was built in 1916 by German prisoners of war.

The most important invention of the last two thousand years was hay. In the classical world of Greece and Rome and in all earlier times, there was no hay. Civilization could exist only in warm climates where horses could stay alive through the winter by grazing. Without grass in winter you could not have horses, and without horses you could not have urban civilization. Some time during the so-called dark ages, some unknown genius invented hay, forests were turned into meadows, hay was reaped and stored, and civilization moved north over the Alps. So hay gave birth to Vienna and Paris and London and Berlin, and later to Moscow and New York. — Freeman Dyson, physicist text/html 2006-01-21T15:11:07GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/2672 Nat Bocking 51.374640 -2.311710 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/109032 The American Museum in Bath is dedicated to showing how our transatlantic cousins lived from the 1680s to the 1860s. Set in Claverton Manor, this gorgeous neo-classical house was bought by two Americans in 1961 to display their collection of American furniture and artefacts. Eighteen period rooms show the development of America, from the time of the earliest English settlers to the eve of the Civil War. Look out for re-enactments and special workshops. These include displays of Native American dancing and a re-enactment of a Civil War battle.
