Dursley News - April 2007 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
April 22nd saw the arrival in Cam & Dursley station of the "Severnside Rambler", a steam excursion which was making several trips throughout the day along a number of Gloucestershire's routes including the Sharpness branch and the Lydney to Parkend line, now home to the Dean Forest Railway. The station was packed with travellers and bystanders as the train departed and also when it returned at the end of the day. Work began during the month on excavating the remaining area of the old Mawdsley site in preparation for the construction of a number of new homes and in doing so, several underground chambers were broken into. Most likely they were part of the old Rivers Mill development which was home to the card making factory which stood on the site prior to it being taken over by Mawdsley's. In town, progress continues to be made on the Bymacks / Crest-Nicholson site as the remaining houses start to get constructed. |
