From Tramway track being used as a fence post, to a bridge in a cutting, boilers still in situ, winding gear in a hillside, all of these places are slowly being lost! We need to record as much as possible, of a way of life that has gone forever, before there is nothing left. So get out and have a look, you can enjoy the views as well!
