Hi Vince,

I was drawn to your fotoe of th railway line and then supprised its not to far from were i used to live. (Second foto) Iv been down Consil Forge on many occasioins. In th 70's i did hay making near buy and when finished we used to go Th Black lion for Joules. A brew from Stone that was very tasty.. Th cellar as no cooling then but because it was deep and th canal close buy it kept a nice cool tempreture. Trains ran comercially in th late 60's (i can here th whistle now) to Bullers, a copper fabrication place. Just up to th left not on your foto is lime kilns built into th hill to purify it for smelting steel. Iv fond memories of th place and even camped there in my youth. This year i did a video of th steam train (i bet it wont up load on here). Ill add some scand fotoes i took in th early 1990's in a min. Thanks for th memories Vince..
