Ron Dobson is a long serving member of the Broadway Area Group and I look upon him as one of our elder statesman! He has some very interesting stories to tell and I am going to persuade him to do a Volunteers Story for the blog.
Today he and colleague, Bob Jones from the BAG, arranged with some chums, to go brick scavenging at a planned steam depot at Stratford-on-Avon.
Here is Ron's introduction to the day's task, followed by his report from today:-

Bill, I mentioned to you
some little while ago about some reclaimed bricks which are available to
us from the site of a once intended steam depot at Stratford-on-Avon for the
Tyseley operation. The site is owned by Tyseley but currently is under tight
control by a contractor who are installing a new footbridge with lifts at the
town station. Therefore access is severely restricted.
Hi Bill,
The weather was kind to
a small group of Broadway Station enthusiasts, including BAG volunteer
stalwarts Bob Jones and Ron Dobson. An under estimated number of bricks
were tackled and bagged up totalling over 2000. 16 bags were filled containing Blues and Reds in equal
proportions.
A further 2000 Blues and
1000 Blue Cants remain to be collected. All bags available were used.
Regards, Ron
This was another remarkable achievement - thank you so much for your efforts.
