Is it worth restoring ? This Tin plate GWR rail network map was given to me in the 1970's by Tim Petchey of Winchcombe Railway museum,it had been folded in half, and pulled from a fire during the demolition of Chedworth Station , on the Midland and South western Junction Railway.

It has hung around the workshops for many years, I thought, if I'm not going to do something with it then no one will,

I made a frame, cleaned and protected it with rustproofing wax, Prolan, and fixed it to the inside of the Foss Cross building, we have, out of sentiment as it came from the next station down the line from where it originated.

Did the restoration achieve anything? that will be in the eye of the beholder, the article has a little more meaning, I think.

This could be a Lancashire Boiler, used in 19th century industry. now seemingly used  as a storage tank, with the firebox apertures plated over, this example is at Kinnersley near Severn Stoke and Croome park Worcester. These boilers were often used to power Beam engines, in mining, blowing houses.
