Ian - are you also by any chance related to the Edmondson who invented a ticket-issuing machine
So I'm told - that was Thomas Edmondson, one of my Great,Great,Great, Grandfathers. My father and Uncle Chorlton were guests at the naming ceremony for the locomotive at Alston.
The ticket and its issuing machine demonstrating typical Edmondson accountancy / engineering / tinkering with stuff crossover.
