Fab!

I guess by now most will have seen this - https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/side-by ... ht=BingHyb

I think its wonderful.

I used that site extensively to complete my simulator. One of the interesting things is that up till 1895 the 25 inch maps differentiated between buildings by showing stone or brick buildings in red and wooden buildings in black which lets me know that all the platelayers sheds were wood except the ones either end of the tunnel and the one at Wetwang station.

This is a great site, but you need to open it ion a separate page as for some reason it will not allow you to come back to our site. Just right click on the link and when the menu comes up, click on the open in new tab. It saves having to close and reopen our site page.

Do we have a photo of this crossing and gate house East of Garton marked in red, it looks like it might have been called "Garton Balk"?
