More about this scene

A Victorian entrepreneur Charles Castleman fought hard to bring a railway to Ringwood in the 1840s. The town eventually became a station on the London to Dorchester line. Given the lack of straight sections of line in the vicinity, the railway here was nicknamed 'Castleman's Corkscrew'. The railway exists no longer, though even in 1913 older forms of transport survived.

I was born in a bungalow on the corner of Coxstone Lane in 1962 and my nanny lived in a thatched cottage called Brookside in Coxstone Lane. I had some very dear friends on that lane, I would love to know what happened to them all.
