Spooky rail conductress

This rather spooky lady turns out to be a mannequin, though she does seem to have a very fine head of hair for a railway conductor. She's one of the exhibits at the small museum of artefacts at the Foxfield Heritage Railway site near Blythe Bridge.

It's a fun little museum, composed mostly of local records and pieces, and I guess a real railway enthusiast could spend a happy hour here.

One legged pub


The 'One-Legged Shunter' bar is one of just fifty or so pubs that CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale) lists as worthy of note in Staffordshire in its annual UK Beer Guide.
Yet, this little bar can only hold twenty people at best, and is only open weekends!

What makes it unique of course is that it is sited in the Foxfield Railway Conservation set-up, which is in Blythe Bridge, just south of Stoke-on-Trent, and is run by volunteers.
Still - to get CAMRA recognition is pretty good...
