We have had an amazing response to the Mystery Photographs, despite printing when we thought you would all be busy with other things! Thank you for still picking up The Journal and for taking the time to get in touch!

As we had such a quick turnaround with our Christmas snowy mining photograph, there were quite a few of you that snuck in with your answers Twixtmas! Well done and thank you to Sybil Purhan, Jeff Parsons, Selwyn Rees (who worked at Lower Writhlington Colliery as a 15-year-old in 1952), Jonathan Griffin, Valerie Rogers, Robert Gilderthorp, Eric Brain, Sally Bown and Richard Edwards, who all gave us the correct answer. Thanks to those of you who also shared your personal connections to the local mine.

Our New Year’s issue Mystery Photograph was submitted by local photographer, Will Nicol, of the old ticket office for Farrington Gurney (GWR) Halt (once the Miner’s Arms Pub and now the back of Spice Dunes Indian Restaurant). This was the old Bristol-Radstock-Frome railway line.

Well done to David Seddon, Colin Stanaway, Andy Gaskell, Anthony Russell and Sally Bown who managed to get their answers in on time. Sally says: “This is the train ticket collection booth at the Miner’s Arms for Farrington Halt – as a three-year-old with my parents I used to catch the train to Welton (Midsomer Norton) to visit my Grandmother.”

This week’s Mystery Photograph is another Radstock Museum mystery. Do you know where this photograph was taken, what the occasion was and anyone pictured?
