Quote ="BillyRhino"Really? Shame about that as it was a nice place. There used to be a garage close by, did it go up as well?
The Bluebell railway!
Did they ever get that bit of line finally built? Must be 12/13 years since I was last down in that neck of the woods.'"
I was only 12 when it got hit so never really went in there before. But from what I can gather it is nothing like it was before which is a shame, but good for business at the GM so I'm not complaining!!! No the garage was v v lucky. The lightning struck a telegraph pole between the 2 and went into the pub rather than the garage, otherwise it would have been v v nasty. The guy who works at garage was on phone when it happened and got thrown half way across the room by it! He retired and sold it for housing not long ago so it is a building site at the mo.
Bluebell still going strong as ever but don't think they ever did finish the line.
