The fireman, clutching the single line token, scuttles down the steps of the signal box at Damems Loop on the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway. He is about to climb aboard the footplate of Ivatt 2MT 2-6-2T 41241, which is heading the 1315 Keighley-Oxenhope service and blowing off steam with considerable enthusiasm. The Midland Railway-design box was originally at Frizinghall, Bradford.

Prison Reformist. Having visited several hundred prisons across England, Scotland, Wales and wider Europe, Howard published the first edition of The State of the Prisons in 1777. It included very detailed accounts of the prisons he had visited, including plans and maps, together with detailed instructions on the necessary improvements. It is this work that has been credited as establishing the practice of single-celling in the United Kingdom. By 1784, Howard calculated that he had travelled over 42,000 miles (68,000 km) visiting prisons. He had been awarded an honorary LLD by the University of Dublin and had been given the Freedom of the City of London. While in the Ukraine, Howard contracted typhus on a prison visit and died, aged sixty-three.

A copper halfpenny coin known as a provincial token. This token was issued and circulated within Leek, Staffordshire in 1793.
Provincial tokens were coins minted by private individuals from the late 18th century in response to a chronic lack of small denomination coins in Britain. This was caused by limited penny production by the Royal Mint from the 1660s onward.
This particular token was produced by the town of Leek and circulated within the local area. The coin was used in lieu of official coinage, and was understood within Leek to have had a value equivalent to half a penny. This allowed trade to continue within the town despite the lack of legitimate currency.
The obverse of the coin features a caduceus staff (a classical symbol of commerce), resting against a bale of goods, representing Leek's textile and cotton industries. Encircling the image is the legend: "LEEK COMMERCIAL HALFPENNY." and the date "1793".
The reverse of the coin features two clasped hands in front of an olive branch. The reverse is encircled by the motto of Leek: "ARTE FAVENTE NIL DESPERANDUM" (Our skill assisting us, we have no cause for despair).
Running around the rim of the coin is the text : "PAYABLE AT LEEK STAFFORDSHIRE."
This is one of two Leek provincial halfpenny tokens in Lichfield's collection (1983.36.6 and 1983.36.7).

The token system was developed in Britain in the 19th century, to facilitate safe working of single-line railways. If a branch line is a dead end with a simple shuttle train service, then a single token is sufficient. The driver of any train entering the branch line (or occupying any part of it) must be in possession of the token, and no collision with another train is possible. For convenience in passing it from hand to hand, the token was often in the form of a staff, typically 800 mm long and 40 mm diameter, and is referred to as a train staff. Such a staff is usually literally a wooden staff with a brass plate stating the two signal boxes between which it is valid.
In UK terminology, this method of working on simple branch lines was originally referred to as One Engine in Steam (OES), and later One Train Working (OTW). However the system was used on long through lines as well; R H Dutton, Chairman of the London and South Western Railway explained in 1876 the slow journey time between Exeter and Plymouth by saying, "the cause of the delay is the stopping at every station on the staff system. That really does cause a great delay because if the staff is not there, the train must stop while a man is sent on a horse to get it [from the other end of the section]"; quoted in Williams.

Please be aware... I am no coin expert. Titles here are either what I was told when acquiring these or are from a simple Google search. I make no claim as to them being 100% accurate but I make an effort to be as factual as I am able when posting. There may well be some duplication of coin type or variety, but I try not to double post any single coins. My feeble brain may slip on that from time to time. These are all from my semi worthless collection of world coins from over the years. Little to no value exists in most (if not all) of them. They are just a hobby.
