Go'an Up Lunnon

Train heading past The Mount, across The Green c1857; From a Besley print Drawing by G Townsend.

It must have been an immense adventure, the move from carriage and pair, even horse and wagon. The trip in a cramped stage coach, jumping and lurching over the extremely rough earth roads. Wheels digging deep into mud after a downpour.
All this changed to the noisy smelly coaches on metal tracks. They were already used to the free flow of air and rain through horse drawn carriages. Caw lummey mate, jus look a that.
