Archives & 'Posting / Sorting / Delivering'

The library local history section had quite a lot of interesting stuff which I won't go into detail with now but just to whet your appetite includes: King George VI and Queen Mary sleeping on the Royal Train in the Sutton Park sidings; a fairly detailed drawing of the station yard buildings owners/uses; documents about the proposal for the railway including a map with the line overlaying the fields, 'Opened by Censors'.

One other thing I noticed was in the gardens to the right as you leave the site (where we looked at the level change) there is a stream/ditch (with running water) that heads for the site. I guess this might be the underground sewer as there is no other waterway marked. I also can't see anything in the way of gravel pits marked on maps in the low areas although some odd embankments are marked at the end of the site.

In terms of approach how about Posting / Sorting / Delivering? Posting is the research phase when we literally post information to the blog. Sorting the information is for useable material, and then Delivering is about the deliverables. In terms of the work, things hinge a bit on what others want us to put forward for the July consultation.
