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

We believe that Albert Rose would probably have driven these locos at some time during his career at Coppice Colliery and Conduit Colliery.

Kitson No.2 (5358-1921) at Coppice Colliery (Fair Lady) Heath Hayes, after the name ‘Thomas’ was removed on Nationalisation in 1947.

An unusual view of the Coppice Colliery (Fair Lady) at Heath Hayes. Certainly one that I hadn’t seen before.
This photo shows Neilson loco ‘Alfred Paget’ and Hawthorn Leslie ‘Asbestos’ with The MSL coach.

The museum had a visit from Diana and Sue Windor on May 19th. They used to live locally and Diana’s father was a loco driver at the Coppice Colliery, Heath Hayes, (Fair Lady) and the Conduit Colliery at Norton Canes.. Diana, Sue’s mum, celebrated her 90th birthday on May 18th. Her father, Albert Edward Rose, was born in 1902. The ladies gave us a selection of photographs, the first of which are shown here. We also have other items, including newspaper cuttings, which will be shown over the next few days.

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.
Here is photo of the book in front one of our ‘Colliery Cabinets’ Our thanks again to Les and Dawn Waggett.
