Site updates
If I say so myself, there's some great new stuff on the site. Taking pride of place is my spod-tastic Abandoned stations and disused railways section, offering photo reports on long forgotten lines. Did you know that a remote Dyke near Brighton once had its own branch line, a 'Steep Grade Railway' and an aerial cable car, attracting crowds of up to 30,000? ![]() It's all long gone now, but it must have been an amazing place to visit in its heyday. ![]() Elsewhere on the site, I've add a chapter from Chris Robert's superb Cross River Traffic Project book, called 'Gods of the River and Bridge' and a chapter from Andy Worthington's book documenting the 1985 clash between police and the Stonehenge Peace Convoy, known as the Battle of the Beanfield ![]() I've finally finished updating my New York photo gallery, adding a new Shops, Signs and Graffiti section and the Glastonbury 2005 photo gallery is now online. In response to the ever-growing range of urban75-related activities, there's now a Community homepage and a separate section for the Walks In And Around London. Readers can also keep up to date with the blogs of urban75-ers via a new Blog Listing. Finally, coming up next Thursday (28th July) is the next Offline Club night, featuring the infamous 'comedy terrorist' Aaron Barschak and highly rated electro-poppers ROC. See you there! |
