Saturday at Broadway and Coleford!

Removed the "famous" guard rail posts (we now have recovered both!) to a place of safe keeping - they will be a feature of the new station building. Sign making with Jason and Peter H took up most of yesterday - the sun was shining , the birds were twittering and as Bertie Wooster would say "In the Spring, Jeeves, a livelier iris gleams upon the burnished dove" ... Anyway enough of that, here is the update:-

Jason and some old bloke sign painting in the sunshine. Had a surprise visit from Gary Owen - ex Chairman of the GWR. A very pleasant chap. Also the most distant visitor on Saturday was from Edinburgh. Our fame is international!









And the results of the extraordinary efforts of the Coleford die-hards cleaning bricks...

I'm very pleased that you managed to retrieve the other "mystery object" guard rail post and that, one day, they will be back in situ in a lovely rebuilt Broadway Station again. Excellent stuff!

now all you need is the wooden rail and you really can start the rebuild
