Here is a map of the West Midland rail consessonary travel map. Its a couple of years old now and I am not aware of any changes other than the new Mosley, King Heath stations

That looks super and I can imagine a lot of work went into doing it.

I completely agree that there were old people, i spend quite a lot of time in cemetery's and am always amazed to see the grave marker of a 90 year old, so I am not denying that. But you are describing 'life expectancy at age 5,' which is a different statistic entirely. Life expectancy at birth...

You are calculating the average for people who survived to age 5. But life expectancy includes everyone. If you are on a lifeboat with 10 people, and 2 people die on day 1, you don't calculate the average survival time by only counting the 8 who lived. You count all 10. Excluding the children...

Well, if you need an explanation, then one's not really possible—and that's fine! We can happily agree to disagree.

Nice find Mike. That second photo is showing a fireless locomotive. The were often used in areas of high risk like munitions factory's

Viv They were known as a Non-traditional construction, or System build house the Boswell house. Made from concrete panels they had a number of different problems including polluted aggregate ie bits of coal and clinker on the concrete, reinforcement corrosion, cracking and a host of other...
