photo shows number 43 Carlyle Street, my birthplace! The Tunnel from
Kemptown to Elm Grove passed right under the back garden. Author’s collection By GHOST TRAINS - 8/5/2008 6:59 PM ***************************************************************************************************************************************************** |
 | My
family lived at 43 Carlyle street from 1972 until I was about 7 years
old (1980) and I always remember being fascinated by stories my dad
used to tell me about a secret railway which used to run under our
house. He used to kid me that if I were to put my ear to the floor,
that I would be able to hear the occasional train go past us deep
underground. In reality dad was absolutely right about the tunnel going
directly under the house, it passed through the boundaries of the back
gardens of the houses between Carlyle Street and Arnold Street. Sadly
for the romance of the stories, the last train ran through the tunnel
in 1971, a frustratingly short two years before I was born! By GHOST TRAINS - 9/13/2008 11:15 PM |
