Really enjoyed the London Transport Museum #HiddenLondon tour of Kingsway Tram Subway yesterday, giving me an insight into the network of trams that offered affordable travel across London until the '50s. The subway connected the north and south networks. More on Flickr here: https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjAGxZZ

This year marks the 75th Anniversary of the Land Rover, the best 4x4xfar, so with complete shamelessness, I shall take that opportunity to promote my book on this wonderful vehicle, printed by Pen & Sword Books. https://www.pen-and-sword.co.uk/Land-Craft-7-Land-Rover-Paperback/p/18544

Are you interested in the 19th century history of Wolverhampton, Bilston, Willenhall, Wednesfield, Sedgley or Widnes?

See how Victorians living in the Midlands experienced accidents with machines via our crowdsourcing tasks!

Went on the Shepherd's Bush #HiddenLondon tour today. You explore the old tunnels and lift shafts that were superseded when escalators were installed in the late 1930s (see the substructure of the escalators in the second pic). More photos on Flickr: https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjAsMoQ

The Rhondda Tunnel Society was formed in 2014 with the aim of siting the long-lost tunnel portal stone in a location to the entrance of the disused and buried Rhondda Tunnel at Blaencwm.

But now their vision is to completely reopen the longest tunnel in Wales, linking the Rhondda and Afan Valleys.

In this review we look at a real classic published way back in 1940 around the time of the Battle of Britain!

More than just a retrospective, this book contains a contemporary look at the Sirhowy Valley line from Newport to Nantybwch at the start of WW2!

‘The Sirhowy Valley and its Railways’ by D.S.M. Barrie and Charles E. Lee.
