I've just been researching Hutton Poplars near Shenfield Station here in #Essex. A children's home project fronted by George Lansbury, opened in 1907!

Interesting article. Yes, I think that each year, we get distracted by more knitted poppies and miss the point

Sorry to be late with this one: I have named him Carlisle after the Greater Anglia cleaning company.

#Billericay station last week.

The cleaner on the platforms told me he was his friend and that he feeds him. Almost got on the train with me..

Our station footbridge (1890s) is included in a study of #Essex hauntings, but I have never heard the mystery footsteps with no passenger!!
