More about this scene
The railway arrived here in 1884. So that W H Hammond, who bought Raven Hall and became a local benefactor, did not have to look at an ugly railway line, a tunnel was constructed. Because the tunnel was often wet and on a steep gradient, it sometimes took several efforts for the trains to continue on their journey.

I stayed in one of these coaches when I was four years old back in 1958
Someone told me that there was a bus back from town about 10:30 at night back in the 60s. Is this true?
