More about this scene

The Swan Inn, pictured on the right of this photograph, is still here today. In fact, this photograph hangs above its fireplace, and is apparently the subject of a popular quiz question: 'How many people can you see in the photograph?' If you look carefully, you will find one gentleman skulking in the shadows of the bus stop!

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

In the 1950s the push and pull train would stop at Nottage Halt if you put your handout I went frequently on the train to Pyle to watch the express trains come thundering through, I was only six and travelled on my own for the day. I remember playing on the Josephs farm on Stormy Down, happy days!
I remember as kids we used to watch the trains go past Nottage Halt, to look at the old track now it is hard to imagine anything other than a tractor using it. One day we walked through the railway tunnel that used to go under Nottage, it's probably still there, though blocked off at each end.
