#ICYMI we put this together on Friday, to mark 180 years of #Guildford station (as part of #Railway200) - and to flag where the workers fitted. #RailwayHistory 👇

Another visit from my wanderings around Derbyshire yesterday. The amazing High Peak Junction workshops. Well worth a visit and very close to Cromford, Middleton Top and Steeple Grange!
