Stories From My Father

A Memory of Rowfant.

As a young boy my father used to spend holidays with his uncle who was signal man at Rowfant. When I was young my father related various stories about his stays at Rowfant. One fact that stayed with me for many years was that the fire surround in the signal box was made from half a locomotive driving wheel. I visited the signal box in 1963 in my train spotting days and low and behold the fire surround was still there as my father had described it.
