    Came across this fascinating history of Ashburys, perhaps most well known now for building coaches for the Metropolitan Railway, some of which fortunately survive.

    It's long, 52 pages, but worth a delve:

    Yes I am an active volunteer
    Very interesting read. I noticed a photo of a Beyer Peacock works plate dated 1885, which is identical to one that i have.
    I wonder what the one in the photo is off.

    Some twenty-odd years ago I found myself working in that exact area, in what was then called MANCAT* for about eight weeks or so and living in an apartment converted from the old MS&LR bonded warehouse. I was intrigued by rails embedded in the roads near the college, not on the main road. I wonder if the two were/are related?
