Chasewater Railway Museum – A New Acquisition

Chasewater Railway Museum 

A New Acquisition

Refurbished outdoor-type bench given to the railway by Mr.George Clark in memory of his wife, Christine.  There are no makers’ marks on the bench, but it may have been on the London, Tilbury and Southend Line at some point. This bench will replace the one which has been on the platform for some years and will now be refurbished by the same man who refurbished the bench in the museum, courtesy of Godfrey and Marion’s Bench Fund. When completed, this bench will be found a home inside at one of the stations.

A very nice inscription on the plaque

‘Look for me in rainbows’

Lovely

Harry Hartill’s Country

About a month ago I mentioned that we had borrowed this book for a short time and would lke a copy for the museum.  Thanks to the generosity of Les and Dawn Waggett in Michigan, USA, we now have one!  To explain why they had the book in the first place, Les started out in life in Chasetown, and has obviously keeps his memories alive.
