Just in time for the Saturday lunchtime post in Ripley, North Yorkshire! #PostboxSaturday

Transport history is essentially social history: the story of the people who worked, travelled, died. The impact it had one individual lives, communities and people. For good, and for bad.

#RailwayTwitter - a favour, please!

Pam Smith DipGen posed an interesting question recently, which we can't answer: do you know?

What happened to railway staff when they retired, if they'd been in railway accommodation?

Kicked out? Allowed to stay? Moved out but supported elsewhere?

What to do with your family history research? Our next talk is Fri 24 May, 7.45pm, when family history tutor Jackie Depelle will discuss turning your family history research into something more.

A recently donated image of Low Moorgate #Rillington #OnePlaceStudy shows many landmarks. Grade II Holly House on the right, Teapot Row on the far left and the massive beech tree only recently removed. The first post office & shop in the middle. So many clues. #OnePlaceWednesday

Welcome to May and to #OnePlaceWednesday ! Use the hashtag to tell us about your #OnePlaceStudy , to share OPS-related links, news, updates and ideas, to ask questions about #HouseHistories , #StreetStudies or wider #OnePlaceStudies , or to engage in general OPS chatter.

Happy #MondayMotivation ! A further suggestion from #Rillington #OnePlaceStudy would be to search for #railway records The National Archives Parliament Archives National Railway Museum & at your local #archives . Hampshire Archives Trust has many - what are you waiting for? #LocalHistory 🚂

Spring was in the air last weekend when the Historical #Rillington Study Group held an exhibition and gave talks at The Bothies Scampston The community shared memories, stories & donated old photos. It was marvellous! #OnePlaceWednesday #LocalHistory

Wonderful attendance for our exhibition and talks. Captivating conversations with locals about how life used to be and filling in the gaps between records. #Rillington Scampston #OnePlaceStudy #LocalHistory #FamilyHistory

This is going to be a great weekend!

Just found this image of the winning team in the 1929 Southern Railway Women's Ambulance Competition.

Would love to know who they were!

1st aid was of huge importance on the railways - especially given the numbers of staff hurt at work.

20-21 April 2024. The Historical #Rillington Study Group will share their research at #Scampston Community weekend, hosted by The Bothies. You’ll find us in The Conservatory, Scampston Walled Garden. #OnePlaceWednesday #LocalHistory #FamilyHistory

Impact of the coming of #Railways massively affected landscape & people when they arrived mid C19. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the routes restructured by the Beeching cuts were restored to reconnect communities? #Tetbury wasn’t happy with cuts but regenerated. #OnePlaceWednesday
