There have been Jane Austens wandering around in recent days ...

I caught up with these two (had a chat with them, picture with their permission) on Saturday - they had come all the way from Louisiana and Georgia for / co-ordinating their trip for the current celebrations.

Blimey!

I'm well impressed with that meeting, grahame: I'd have liked to meet those ladies from Louisiana and Georgia too, as a 'Confederate from Nailsea' - much to my daughter's disagreement. Roll Eyes

Yes, I know the American Civil War was rather later than Regency Bath ... Wink

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.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.
