What a sorry state! I remember it well, as a kid, and yes, I took my fist footplate ride on Bahamas there. No pics of the miniature railway on the hill? Excuse me if I go and cry, now. Can't be more than 15/20 odd years!
No...not another Tesco. I'm afraid this has been spotted by a couple from Kent now living in their restored farmhouse in provence. They've got bored killing their own free range pigs and have set their eyes on this little "project". The Grand designs team and Hugh Fearnely have been notified. You can't stop gentrification you know. ;)
thanks for uploading mate love all ya vids ma fav is the barnard castle 1 a think ill going visit it some time cos a love that sort of thing visting old places like that nice one mate
great shame that. I used to visit the centre occasionally, and remember holding one of my kids birthday parties in a guards van! Did they not restore " Bananas" there?
I used to volunteer at the railway museum in the late 80s. I can't believe how it's gone back to nature. The Great Central engine shed is still standing. They knew how to build stuff back then.
There's an auction in Matlock in a couple of weeks and one of the lots is this piece of land. How wonderful it would be if someone were to buy it and reopen the museum. I'm too young to remember it in much detail.
