Daily Drawing: Train Numbers 1973-4<\/p>\n

My fascination with trains is documented in exact detail. It starts on 8th May 1973 (I was 14) and ends on January 7th 1974 about two weeks before my 15th birthday when I obviously left childish things behind. I showed a budding sense of graphic design in designing the cover…and meticulously listed places and trains seen. In that year I with friends travelled by train to London, Birmingham, Northampton and finally Swindon to visit the Rail Museum there with my mother on June 30th 1973. The only time I ever did anything like that with my mother alone as my sister was on a school trip away.<\/span><\/p>\n

This notebook is a diary of all that I think….my sister\u00a0Janice Newton\u00a0or Aunt\u00a0Chris Leeburn\u00a0might remember….it was the Pointer family I visited in Northampton on the 5th to the 10th August 1973…<\/p>\n

I remember being taken to a stock-car race at Brafield and used to have the programmes..long gone now..<\/p>\n
