Reply to How were early Victorian Steam Locomotive Drivers trained and Recruited? by DearGiraffe6168
Anecdotally I know that employment was often offered as part of the resettlement programs when they destroyed property to make way for the railways

Reply to Ship from Elizabethan period found buried in quarry —— EARLIER IN 2022, CEMEX WORKERS DREDGING FOR AGGREGATES AT A QUARRY ON THE DUNGENESS HEADLAND, IN KENT, ENGLAND, FOUND THE REMAINS OF OLD TIMBERS FROM A SHIP, AROUND A QUARTER OF A MILE FROM THE KENT COASTLINE. by ArtOak
Dungeness is one of the most surreal places I've ever been to. It's a beach village, with nothing but some old houses and a pub. The only way in is via steam train. There is an huge nuclear power plant. Derek Jarman, an old surreal filmmaker had his recluse shack there. Nothing about it would surprise me.
