Until a few years ago the Hunter's Rest pub near Clutton had an attraction almost unique in the UK, if not the world - its very own miniature railway!
We visited just the once, planning to make it a regular trip. But sadly a short while after the one trip the line was suddenly closed. No idea why, perhaps the pub changed hands, there were insurance issues or they found a busier site.
But I did manage to get some photos on the day and caught it in the sun with trains running. No steam sadly, but at least I have the evidence that it did exist and it wasn't just some weird half remembered dream!
Still a railway at the Fancott pub in Bedfordshire just of junction 13 on the M1 it has been there many years

ReplyDeleteWhen I was young and the world was flat the King's Arms in Cardington (Beds) had a miniature railway. Realistic to this day as it's been built on!
ReplyDeleteThere is a new one, recently opened, at the Fenn Bell Inn, Isle of Grain, Kent. A great pub and a great railway.
