Chasewater Railway Museum
New Items, Including one from Brownhills
The first is a rubber stamp – marked ‘Brownhills LMR 7’ – and it’s not very often that we see something quite so local!
This was given to the Museum by Colin Marklew of Brownhills and came from the Brownhills Station goods yard off the Pelsall Road. Many thanks Colin.

The next item is a cast iron sign ‘Private’ given to the Museum by David Townsend from Wednesfield, who has helped us in the past – thanks again David.
This was found in the burned out remains of Essington Wood sjgnal box.
Finally – a reminder of the latest book from the Cannock Chase Mining Historical Society – ‘Cannock Old Coppice Colliery’ (Hawkins Colliery 1875 – 1960)
Now on sale in the Museum – Price £10.00
