We had a 440kv transformer delivered to the substation in Hawkchurch in the '70's, a couple of miles from here. They had to strengthen the bridge in Charmouth and widen various places. The tyre marks on the corner of the Crewkerne road and the Hawkchurch road were there for a number of years until the road was resurfaced.

The A35 still went through the Charmouth tunnel at the time, didn't build the by pass until later. I think my son has some pictures, I will try and get one or two.

Loving seeing a bit of colour in that gorse bush and thanks for all the information on Grendon and transformers :) This forum really does rock 💪👍

This came in the post late yesterday :) It has some truly wonderful pictures in it and the cover picture is one of the best of all 😍

From the archives......My Citroen H van Calendar 2016 assembled from pics on the I spy Citroen H Vans thread :-D
We do one every year of the dog and days out...nice tradition each month to turn over to the next page of the "Ruby" calendar and try to remember where it was taken :-D So easy to do, and when the offers are on such good value for money.

Well what's significant about the picture above amongst all the other Citroen H Van spots on the thread?

..........Its got the honour of appearing on the on the front cover of my 2016 Vistaprint custom Citroen "H" Calendar :-D

Got to say excellent quality and value. Others making the cut included this one from Edinburgh.

I did catch this little murmuration with my own point and shoot camera back in March this year.

I missed another century passing by with the workload on the Advent Calendar so to mark the passing here is a rather unique motor:
This Hudson is equipped with an inline 6 cylinder engine of 4800cc.

I'm glad about that, it certainly was a hell of a motor in its time in 1929!! :-D

A remnant with a nice patina on a grassed over former slip road off the A1
Just missed out on the red-glow stage but this is one of the few lights in Northumberland that is a genuine red-glower as it starts up!

Not a weighty enough matter for a call out of the full Trivia Investigation Team but I'll certainly be seeing what I can deduce from this.
