Richard Hardy was formerly the District
Locomotive Superintendent of the British Railway
Eastern Region. This recording covers his home
background and education, with an enthusiasm for
railways which led to an apprenticeship with the LNER at
Doncaster at the beginning of the second world war. His
appointment as supernumery foreman at Kings Lynn and
South Lynn in 1947, gave him the experience of the
M&GN network and working with a staff of
unique railwaymen with an individual outlook. Later he
was Shed master at Ipswich and found the special
qualities of the Suffolk railway workers, all this in
the days of steam, and just before working practises
changed completely. Duration 66

Memories of life in East Anglia Railway
Village. From the Late 1800's to1964 Melton Constable
was unique as a railway village. The railway
construction and maintenance works closed in 1963 after
the LNER took control. The busy station and junction
remained open until the final Beeching closure.
These reminiscences are from some of the people
connected to the railway, who still remember those busy
times. Duration 68 mins
