The overhead signal box on the west side of Wylam Station was built in the late 19th century by the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway. This, and the signal box at Hexham are the only 2 surviving examples of this type of signal box. Both are Grade II listed.

Strathaven Castle in the town of Strathaven, South Lanarkshire, Scotland—then and now. I'm not sure about the date of the old picture but the now photo was taken today, 7 November, 2024.

The castle is believed to date to the 14th century. Unfortunately, it is not open to the public.

The info board nearby tells of a local legend:

"According to tradition, the wife of a past lord so greatly displeased her husband that she was walled up alive in part of the Castle wall. Nothing is recorded of her crime, yet it is said that she was led into a small purpose-built niche, blessed by a priest, given some food and water, and then walled up forever. When a portion of the walls fell down in the middle of the 19th Century human bones were discovered, giving some credence to this story."

Please join us on Sunday 10 November for Remembrance Sunday.

The Cathedral has a long-standing link with the The Duke Of Lancaster's Regiment (formerly the King's Own Border Regiment) and the Regimental Chapel holds their services throughout the year. On Remembrance Sunday the Cathedral becomes a focus for the city's and county's Remembrance Service.

Music will be sung by the Girl Choristers and Lay Clerks. All are welcome to join us.

Caerlaverock Castle, located near Dumfries in Scotland, is a striking triangular fortress dating back to the 13th century. Its unique shape and impressive moat make it a distinctive landmark, surrounded by beautiful countryside. The castle has a rich history, playing a key role in various conflicts, including the Wars of Scottish Independence.
