Wallingford, Oxfordshire, England from Travel with Iva Jasperson
Hello everyone...
Wallingford is an ancient market town and civil parish in the upper Thames Valley in England. Historically in Berkshire, it was transferred to Oxfordshire in 1974. Wallingford is situated 12 miles (19 km) north of Reading, 13 miles (21 km) south of Oxford and 11 miles (18 km) northwest of Henley-on-Thames. The town's royal but mostly ruined Wallingford Castle held high status in the early medieval period as a regular royal residence until the Black Death hit the town badly in 1349. Empress Matilda retreated here for the final time from Oxford Castle in 1141. The castle declined subsequently, much stone being removed to renovate Windsor Castle. Nonetheless, the town's Priory produced two of the greatest minds of the age, the mathematician Richard of Wallingford and the chronicler John of Wallingford.

History Wallingford Kickoff - Jan 6th, 2018
The official launch of Historic Wallingford was held on Saturday, January 6th at The Good Shepherd Center. It was attended by over 140 people who came to learn of our new organization’s mission and future activities. With a turn out that was over triple of what we had actual RSVPs for, we felt that our launch event was a huge success and we are thrilled to see the interest in Historic Wallingford. Thank you to all who attended and who share our enthusiasm for this great neighborhood. Your support and well wishes are inspiring.
The crowd was welcomed by Rhonda Bush, president of Historic Wallingford. Rhonda explained that the organization wishes to share Wallingford’s extensive history to increase the awareness of the significant cultural value found in this historic neighborhood. The knowledge of its historic past as well as the stories of the people who lived in our neighborhood will enhance the lives of people today and tomorrow.
Rhonda explained that Historic Wallingford will pursue three areas of focus:
To Educate - Foster a greater awareness of Wallingford history.
To Celebrate - Share with and promote Wallingford while having fun and cherishing this special place
To Advocate – Collect information regarding the history of Wallingford and promote stewardship for this historic community.
Wallingford offers a variety of historic architecture in residential stock and is home to one of the largest Craftsman Bungalow residential neighborhoods in the city. Tom Veith described some of the varied architecture seen in Wallingford.
Several information stations were set up to offer the opportunity to visit with Historic Wallingford Board members. At these informational tables we explained some projects coming up from Historic Wallingford (Mike Ruby and Carl Slater), showcased HistoryPin.com (Kim England), shared information about our website, historicwallingford.org (Matt Hallett), and offered our beautiful logo designed by Heidi Favour as prints or yard sign and memberships in Historic Wallingford.(Pam Singer and Rhonda Bush). Sharon Scherer worked to direct the flow of people as we rapidly filled the room. Historians Thomas Veith and Paul Dorpat, were also available to chat with.
Most of the attendees at the event were from Wallingford, but several came from other neighborhoods; Queen Anne, Ravenna, Phinney and Ballard. Many of those were former Wallingford residents, often as children. This gives testament to the interest Seattleites have in learning about the history of our great city.
One Wallingford resident in attendance said that it was “really refreshing to finally attend a community meeting that was fun, educational. and stress-free” and that she was looking forward to attending future events. We all look forward to an exciting and “historic” 2018 and beyond with this exciting new community initiative.
Again thanks to all our members and attendees-it was a wonderful event!!

Cholsey and Wallingford Railway
A great little heritage line from Cholsey to Wallingford in Oxfordshire. Sadly, no steam running on the day I visited, but shunters provided a great trip through the glorious countryside. At Wallingford there's an excellent little museum with railwayana and history of the Bunk Line, shop and cafe. The platform at Cholsey is the bay platform of the main station. All the staff and volunteers were very friendly.

Cholsey & Wallingford Railway 13.12.08
The first time I've ever witnessed the Cholsey & Wallingford Railway at work and this is my 5th visit! It does seem a cracking little railway.
Today was Santa Special day. A green liveried 08123 on one end with another shunter on the other end of which I haven't a clue on the number. All the volunteers are extremely kind and helpful and my full thanks goes out to them.
I was also lucky enough to be offered a look in the cab of the industrial Class 08. A guided tour of the cab provided by a volunteer.
I certainly hope to visit again in the Spring when they have their next event.
Enjoy!

Cholsey & Wallingford Railway aka The Bunk Line
The Bunk Line is the charming ex-GWR branch from Wallingford to Cholsey, where it joins the big boys. Peckett 1555 is seen 1. entering Wallingford station and ready to depart, 2.from the bridge by Cholsey church where Agatha Christie is buried, 3. running round her train at Cholsey, 4. back at the bridge. It is a friendly little line, as you can tell from the engine's greetings.
