DARTMOUTH AND THIS ENGLAND
Dartmouth is a historic town in South Devon, England. A tourist destination on the western banks of the River Dart, a long tidal ria navigable for the 12 miles to Totnes. It’s in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, (AONB). Dartmouth was of strategic importance as a deep water port in the days of Sailing Ships. From here the Crusaders departed in 1147 and 1190. Dartmouth has been a “home” for the Royal Navy from the reign of King Edward 3rd. The Royal Naval College where all Royal Navy Officers are trained is still here. To prevent attacks from the sea the estuary of the River Dart was closed every night by a great chain stretched between Dartmouth Castle and Kingswear Castle on the opposite bank – so it was during World War 2! In 1373 Chaucer visited in his “Canterbury Tales”. In 1620 The Pilgrim Fathers sailed in here to the town’s Bayard’s Cove en route to America – the rest is history! Dartmouth contains many medieval streetscapes and historic buildings. The Royal Castle Hotel 1639. The Cherub Pub 1380. Dartmouth featured in the defeat of the Spanish Armada. “Greenway” the home of Sir Francis Drake - in the 20th. Century became the home of Novelist Dame Agatha Christie.

East Grinstead is a town and civil parish in the northeastern corner of Mid Sussex district of West Sussex in England near the East Sussex, Surrey, and Kent borders. East Grinstead lies 27 miles (43 km) south of London, 21 miles (34 km) north northeast of Brighton, and 38 miles (61 km) east northeast of the county town of Chichester.
Nearby towns include Crawley and Horley to the west, Tunbridge Wells to the east and Redhill and Reigate to the northwest. The town is contiguous with the village of Felbridge to the northwest. Until 1974 East Grinstead was the centre for local government - East Grinstead Urban District Council - and was located in the county of East Sussex. East Grinstead, along with Haywards Heath and Burgess Hill, as part of the former Cuckfield Rural District Council, came together as Mid-Sussex; moving to the jurisdiction of West Sussex County Council. The town has many historic buildings and is located on the Greenwich Meridian. It is located in the Weald and Ashdown Forest lies to the south-east of the town.
Sackville College is a Jacobean almshouse in town of East Grinstead, West Sussex, England. It was founded in 1609 with money left by Robert Sackville, 2nd Earl of Dorset. Throughout its history it has provided sheltered accommodation for the elderly. The mansion stands in a parkland setting. In 1968 the East Grinstead Society was founded as an independent body both to protect the historically important buildings of East Grinstead (and its environs) and to improve the amenities for future generations.

On the outskirts of the town is Standen, a country house belonging to the National Trust, containing one of the best collections of arts and crafts movement furnishings and fabrics. Off the A264 to Tunbridge Wells, there is a 1792 historic house called Hammerwood Park (the first work of the future architect of the United States Capitol) which is open to the public twice a week in summer. East Grinstead House is the headquarters of the (UK and Ireland) Caravan Club.
Local attractions include Ashdown Forest (where the Winnie-the-Pooh stories are set) and the Bluebell Railway, a preserved heritage line with steam locomotives. The town is also the site of Queen Victoria Hospital, where famed plastic surgeon Archibald McIndoe treated burns victims of World War II and formed the Guinea Pig Club. A statue of Sir Archibald McIndoe caring for an injured airman was erected in June 2014 outside Sackville College and was unveiled by HRH The Princess Anne, the Princess Royal. The town is well located to visit Chartwell the country home of Sir Winston Churchill, Hever Castle home of Henry VIII's second wife Anne Boleyn, and Penshurst Place home of the Sidney family. Kidbrooke Park (today Michael Hall School), a home of the Hambro family, was restored by the noted Sussex architect and antiquarian, Walter Godfrey, as was Plawhatch Hall.
East Grinstead has been a railway terminus since 1967, after the line from Three Bridges, to Royal Tunbridge Wells was closed under the Beeching Axe, a rationalisation of British Railways' branch lines based on a report by Dr Richard Beeching, a resident of the town at that time.

Places to see in ( Dulverton - UK )
Dulverton is a small town and civil parish in the heart of West Somerset, England, near the border with Devon. The parish includes the hamlets of Battleton and Ashwick which is located approximately 3.5 miles (5.6 km) north west of Dulverton.
To the west of the hamlet lies Ashwick House, built in the Edwardian style in 1901.[2] Also nearby is the estate of Northmoor, formerly a seat of the Wills baronets of Northmoor in the County of Somerset, founders of the Imperial Tobacco Company, which family in 1929 was raised to the peerage as Baron Dulverton.
Dulverton is a popular tourist destination for exploring Exmoor, and is home to the Exmoor National Park Authority headquarters. The village lies on the route of the Exe Valley Way and Land's End Trail. The name Dulverton was first recorded in 1084 as dieglaford-tun meaning hidden ford-tun. The Domesday Book records it as Dolvertune and suggests it was a royal manor before the Norman Conquest.
The manor of Dulverton was purchased in 1568 by the Sydenham family seated at Combe House, on the opposite side of the River Barle to Dulverton, a junior branch of the ancient de Sydenham family which originated at the manor of Sydenham, near Bridgwater in Somerset, of which other branches were seated in Somerset at Combe Sydenham, Orchard Sydenham (later called Orchard Wyndham) and Brympton d'Evercy, which latter remained the seat of the Sydenham baronets, which title was created in 1641. In 1858 the Sydenhams sold the manor to the Earl of Carnarvon of Pixton Park, Dulverton. George Sydenham Clarke, 1st Baron Sydenham of Combe (1848-1933) took his title from Combe, Dulverton.
Exmoor House was built as the Dulverton Union Workhouse in 1855. It is now the headquarters of the Exmoor National Park Authority. Private housing stock generally ranges from medium-size to substantial Georgian to late Victorian family houses, with a small estate of post-war modern houses and bungalows towards the north of town.
The town lies in the deep, wooded valley of the River Barle, at an ancient route convergence and river crossing. The river and the Barle Valley are both designated as biological Site of Special Scientific Interest. The river passes under the Tarr Steps, a prehistoric clapper bridge possibly dating from 1000 BC. The stone slabs weigh up to 5 tons each. According to local legend, they were placed by the devil to win a bet. The bridge is 180 feet (55 m) long and has 17 spans. It has been designated by English Heritage as a grade I listed building. The other bridges over the Barle include the five span Barle Bridge which is medieval in origin. It has double rings on the downstream side and single rings on the upstream side. It was repaired in 1624, and subsequently widened in 1819 by John Stone. It was further repaired in 1866 and in 1952–1953 after flood damage. The 18th century Marsh Bridge was altered in 1866 when the central pier was removed and an iron bridge inserted. The parapet was destroyed in 1952 and reconstructed in steel in 1979. Towards Brushford the River Barle is crossed by the New Bridge dating from 1870, which led to Pixton Park, which was the home of John Dyke Acland and his wife Harriet Acland and later the family of Evelyn Waugh and Auberon Waugh.
The other major river in the parish is the River Exe, which is on the parish boundary with Brompton Regis, which is crossed by the medieval Chilly Bridge and Hele Bridge, and the 18th century Weir Bridge. In between the town centre and the river is a large recreation meadow which recently underwent renovation by locals (including the pupils of Dulverton Middle School) supported by a Barclays Bank New Futures Scheme.
Two miles from Dulverton is the village of Brushford, where the Dulverton railway station on the Taunton to Barnstaple line used to be. It opened in 1873 and closed to passengers, who transferred to Dulverton by bus, in 1963. The station buildings are still visible and it is clear where the lines used to run as the railway embankment is still visible and worn in places although the rails have been lifted.

Charter Train To Dawlish (1969)
No titles. 18-Plus Groups charter train to Dawlish.
Clapham Junction, London.
Various shots of crowds of people standing on a platform at Clapham Junction railway station. Commentator explains they are all members of 18 Plus groups in London and the Home Counties and have chartered a train to take them to Dawlish for their Easter holiday.
Several shots of people wearing silly hats and glasses and looking as if to say 'Aren't I mad and crazy and fun to be with?' (no). The train pulls in and they all pile onto the train, including members of a traditional jazz band. M/S of guard waving flag as train starts off.
Interior views of the people on the train. A banner is tied across the inside of one carriage reading 'Walthamstow 18-Plus'. Several shots in a special carriage given over to the band and dancers. Trad jazz musicians playing their instruments. People attempting to dance - looks pretty dire!
Good contrast to the hip youths of the late 60s - this is what the squares were up to in 1969!

A Performance To Remember: Black 5 44871 - The Cathedrals Express - 23rd May 2019
Thursday 23rd May saw Stream Dreams running a 'Cathedrals Express' from London Victoria to Worcester and back. This would run via Swindon and Kemble both ways, giving a chance to sample the climbs to Sapperton Tunnel in either direction. The motive power for this run was Ian Riley's LMS Black 5 4-6-0 No.44871, running unassisted with a load of 9 nine coaches, which would provide quite a spectacle on the much more arduous east bound ascent to Sapperton Tunnel.
We start the video off at Coates, the foot crossing opposite the Tunnel House Inn. In recent years, this location has become almost impossible to film from, due to the vegetation being very overgrown. In the last few months, however, it has been completely stripped back and is now an excellent vantage point once again. An fantastic job the Network Rail clearance teams! After a GWR IEP rumbles by, bound for the capital, we see 44871 charging around the bend and past the camera in fine form. Good going given that she had a standing start from Kemble!
Moving into the evening now, we see ourselves at Frampton Mansell, ready to capture the Black 5 as she attacks the steep and twisty climb of Sapperton Bank. She does exactly that, in what I can only describe as one of the most glorious displays of raw power I've ever seen on this section of line. Add to that, the stunning evening light and we have ourselves a real winner here, folks! It's pure magic.
The 22 minute stop at Kemble allowed us ample time to overtake the train for a third shot. This is quite a rare opportunity, ever since the redoubling of the section between Kemble and Swindon. So, we end off the video with 44871 at Bourton, bowling along at speed along the Great Western Main Line. It's just a pity the sun decided to dip behind the clouds, but hey ho. At least we weren't completely robbed of light, unlike most other times that this occurs.
Filmed on a Panasonic VXF990 with a Pro Sound L92AA microphone.
