Railway Roy
It all got a bit sheddy at the Northern Echo this week when two eagle-eyed readers wrote in to tell the paper that they’d spotted local railwayana cropping up in Roy’s Rolls. Apparently Roy’s Coronation Street café is adorned with a wagon plate that says "Re-bodied in Shildon" and it comes from the old railway works in the town. They're the round things fixed to the side of everything built at the works. A Shildon reader spotted it and told the paper: "I just thought 'Why yer bugger' " - which is a phrase we’ve not had on Corrieblog before. Roy Cropper is the Street’s resident railway buff and the paper says that the railwayana decorating the cafe walls was bought as a job lot (a shed load?) from the Railway Carriages Trust in Keighley, West Yorkshire. Corrie production staff arrived seeking signal arms and spent about £600. "They bought so much I threw in some notices like what to do in case of an air raid, " said museum manager Bob Stott.
