THORESBY HALL AND PARK This Bank Holiday


THIS GREAT VICTORIAN MANSION SET IN THE HEART OF SHERWOOD FOREST IS ONE OF


NOTTINGHAMSHIRHfS LEADING TOURIST ATTRACTIONS.


ABOVE: One of the giants of steam, an era which seemed to have died, but which has been preserved in several centres and proves an attraction to young and old


BELOW: The Holme, Cliviger, a country club which opens its doors to the public for interest and refreshment, is well worth a visit


WHEN THE Bank Holiday and Whit­ suntide weekends come around there isn’t time for most of us to get off this island, but one of the phrases from our EEC friends across the English Channel is appropriate.


It goes “Plus ca

homes for these intriguing monsters is at Glossop, where the Dinting Railway Centre is open from 10r30 a.m. to 5 p.m. most days. If you are tempted to think modern youngsters won’t know a thing about the subject, forget it.
