Think some are getting confused with a person who has say Cornish roots and ancestry, and someone who lives somewhere and so is a local. I have Cornish ancestry, my family farmed the area from the Tamar down to Bodmin Moor, I have ancestors who...

My great nephews live in Cornwall, were born in Cornwall, their Mum is Cornish (from many generations) their Dad has lived in Cornwall for nearly 40 years (since he was 5) but they don't consider themselves Cornish....

Yes, at one time, many years ago, I used to work with two guys from the West Country, both contract Electricians, one used to work in the Cornish mines before they closed, and the other was from Appledore. We were all working for a company...

The funny thing was, at the last time of looking at the general population of Lynton (It was some time ago now), there were more outsiders than locals

Where I lived in the wilds of Derbyshire, the rule of thumb and /or ironic joke was that you couldn’t regard yourself as a local until you’d lived there for 25 years

A few years ago, I knew someone who moved to Devon from London, and he was there for a very long time, but he was always known as an outsider. After twenty years, he also noticed that many people from around the country also moved to Lynton to...

Simply changing location does not change a person's mind or attitude, or make them a local. Tourism has been vital for the Exmoor economy since about 1870- and local people know and understand this. Just being a twonk from London and buying a...

To get the facts correct, the LYD project was first offered to the L&BR Association, but at the time, there wasn't a charitable body to take advantage of gift aid, etc So it moved to the FR, where it was going to be built. Which made a lot of...

I’m guessing that the FR would never part with lyd, and the question has already been broached with them, sometime in the past.

Indeed there are: at WHR Ltd, at Southwold Railway Trust, and at the Halesworth to Southwold Narrow Gauge Railway CIO, we have had much more support for extensions/trackbed purchase than for anything else, including prestige locos James

If you are successful enough to manage to build an extension, but have no more engines than today, then you can be certain that one will be available to hire from somewhere. There are a few people restoring 2' gauge engines who will want...

I’m part of a church that meet in a converted warehouse in a business park. When we first bought building there was a high level of local opposition - the chair of the Business Park association stood up at the planning meeting to speak against us...

The historic L&B wasn't all that good at serving local communities, which is why it closed. Parracombe station is in Parracombe, and Barnstaple Town station was pretty much as convenient for the main line as could be. All the other stations were...
