The Birmingham and Derby Junction Railway started in Hampton in Arden near Birmingham and connected at Derby with the North Midland Railway and the Midland Counties Railway at what became known as the Tri Junct Station. Although Birmingham was served by an extensive canal network, indeed, it is suggested they were a factor in its growth as an engineering centers, there were huge technical problems. As early as 1824, entrepreneurs had been looking at the possibilities of the railway and by the end of the 1830s the lines to London and to Liverpool and Manchester were proving a huge success. Accordingly, there was great interest in exploring other routes, including the northeast, with the idea of a line to Derby to meet the proposed North Midland Railway.
George Stephenson surveyed the route in 1835 and the Birmingham and Derby Junction Railway Bill passed through Parliament in 1836. It would run from Derby to Hampton-in-Arden, where it would join the London and Birmingham Railway line to its terminus at Curzon Street.
George's son Robert Stephenson took on the post of engineer, with an assistant, John Cass Birkinshaw. Some 42 miles long, it would need seventy eight bridges and two viaducts, with a cutting at the approach to Derby, consideration being given to the danger of flooding by the River Trent.

1837 August. Announced the work on the line had commenced
It opened on 12 August 1839. From the start the joint use of Curzon Street terminus, with the London and Birmingham Railway, gave problems, so in 1840 a new line was built with a terminus at Lawley Street.
In 1840 the line ran from Derby to Birmingham with stations at Willington, Burton, Barton and Walton, Oakley and Alrewas, Tamworth, Kingsbury, Coleshill and Hampton. The journey time was two hours and a one-way fare ranged from 10s to 5s.
Strong competition between the line and the Midland Counties Railway for transport, particularly of coal, to London, almost drove both of them out of business.
In 1844, the Birmingham and Derby Junction Railway, the Midland Counties Railway and the North Midland Railway merged to form the new Midland Railway.
I made this mainly because many have been losing the will to do things. Not just photography or editing in photo shop. I absolutely love these two things so I'm going to support anyone who does these things. Someone has to keep the movements and feelings and creativity alive!

I write. A LOT.
These pages are photo notes, a list of potential instructors for next quarter, random observations, and bizarre quotes from Angela Kelly.

My mothers Ration Book from 1953
Although the Americans had won the Second World War in 1945 with a little help from Britain and a few other countries (as modern films would have us believe). Many items were still on ration well into the early 1950s in Britain, if the items were not on ration they were in short supply.
Britain was bankrupt after the war, not much has changed in the last 60 years, although we have now paid off the final part of the loan (from the Americans) in the last couple of years to help us fight the war and re-build, we as still bust in 2010.

Joseph's scribbles made during church.
Often thinking in terms of sporting events, he was creating signs that fans might wave at a game of Kids vs. Adults. Curiously, he decided to draw the banners for the Adult team first. I guess that's to be expected from the little man.

These notes are misleading and have been corrected (the last two lines form a couplet, so the last sestet is a quatrain and couplet.)

Images from The Black Country GIANT storytelling sessions. This exhibition took place between 1st and 19th February 2011 in the Community Art Space in the Queen's Square Shopping Centre.
Adrian Johnson is artistic director of kindandgenerous productions and is a GIANT storyteller, poet and workshop leader. Based in Smethwick, Adrian was the city of Birmingham's 14th poet laureate for 2009 - 2010 and is an English language storyteller. Working with family groups, schools and adults, his stories explore life in the UK's beating heartlands, love of chocolate, jam and giant stories for little people with big imaginations. Adrian's stories and verse explores how to be brave - when you least feel it and examines how young people can become their own 'GIANT' among men.
