Charity shop finds

« on: April 24, 2011, 00:17:43 »

I was in the Oxfam shop on Mutley Plain in Plymouth today and they had a few railway books in stock. All pretty modern and nothing very special (from my point of view). I picked up a "Then and Now" book on the Conwy Valley Line (Blaenau Ffestiniog), new at ^17.95, Oxfam at ^12.99. I left it there.

Looking over at the Devon interest books, I saw an old book with the letters G.W.R. on the spine. Glorious Devon, second edition from 1929. Not brilliant condition, but not bad either.

I think it was worth ^2.99.

Excellent choice - and a bargain, Richard!

William Huskisson MP^▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.

A warm welcome to the Coffee Shop, The Sleeper.

Any chance of a slightly smaller avatar? It's a nice picture of a Pacer in the snow but just a little large to be used as an avatar. Thanks awfully. Grin
