My grandmother was a telephonist during WW1*. My mother-in-law worked on the international switchboards during WW2, following the fall and liberation of European countries, via the phone traffic passing through her exchange.

I know that these are two photos of the same train, but one shows more of the battery engine and the other the Wickham trailer.

Phil Sutters has posted:

The narrow gauge railway, which runs up and down the valley, that the museum fills, only has one engine in operation at a time, so it has little use for signals. There is one ground signal at the western end of the loop here and there may be one or two at the Amberley Station end where there is a pedestrian level crossing with limited visibility.

I am fairly sure that this was taken as we waited for the train back from Amberley Museum. I think this was a Meeting place sign, although why a station as small as Amberley would need one I am not sure.

One of the main, non-farming industries in the South Downs National Park used to be the making of lime for use in mortar and concrete, from the Downs chalk. The Amberley Museum has been created in a valley were the chalk was quarried and made into lime.
