The 1939 dig
For the 1939 excavations Basil Brown was joined by William Spooner (gamekeeper) and John Jacobs (gardener). Just three days in John Jacobs called out that he had found a piece of iron. Basil Brown rushed over and recognised it as being a ship rivet.
Charles Phillips first visited the Sutton Hoo site on 6 June 1939 and was astonished by what he saw, suggesting that the sheer size of the ship could mean it was a royal burial. The British Museum was contacted and meetings were arranged between Edith Pretty, the British Museum, the Office of Works, Charles Phillips, Ipswich Museum and the Suffolk Institute of Archaeology to discuss how best to continue. It was decided that Charles Phillips should oversee the work, a position he entered in to on 10 July, with Basil Brown assisting him.
The relationship between Charles Phillips and Basil Brown was one of mutual respect. Charles Phillips was complimentary towards the careful way Basil Brown had excavated the ship.

Signalbox diagram from Sutton Bridge Junction.
A few interesting features on this diagram, including:
35 which selects slotted signals in both directions. Swing Bridge 19 selects the main arm, and if SB19 is on, then the slot on the main signal clears the shunt disc;
24 Tablet Locking Lever
The 'Lie Bye Sidings' for good trains to be recessed back into.
