A Steamy 1940s Day Out, Holt and Sheringham, Norfolk - 20th September 2015
After a Saturday night at a 1940s-stlye dance, it seems appropriate to follow up with a day up at Holt and Sheringham, where the increasingly-popular 1940s-themed steam weekend is occuring. There's a bit of a hold-up as the first train of the day has crashed in to the buffers at Holt, so the first train that actually gets going is more than a little packed. Later, at Sheringham, we happen upon Clive's military truck which is just about to head off for a spin around town with the Mayor.
