Monochrome Monday

Monochrome Monday - 

It’s unusual to find photographs of the front of Combwich station, but very occasionally they pop up. Historians of the Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway will notice the similarity to that of Glastonbury with the tall windows, entrance canopy and curly bargeboards. 

Of course nothing remains of this scene now, the building suddenly catching fire in the late 1970s, thus creating space for yet another unremarkable housing estate. In Little Britain, disused buildings, especially pubs, despite being disconnected from all utilities frequently catch fire. Apparently these days it’s down to planet warming, rather than careless children playing with matches and 2 gallons of petrol - for of course petrol is too expensive for parents to give to their offspring as something to mess about with at weekends. 

And finally, before all the usual wags say ‘oh that bus is very small and that telephone box is very big’, Google that famous Father Ted comedy sketch about the small cows, and all will be explained - it’s series 2, episode 1 by the way
