IO noticed this on the site:
"One thing here makes me curious - what was the purpose of the arch now bricked in in the subway?"
The building now used used to be on the island platform - the arch bricked up went to Platform 1 where the main building used to stand...
Also, interrsting to see pictures of CH without the music school...

I'm editing an eJournal webpage, so yes, I'm VERY bored!
Being an architecture fan, I think it's a shame the Victorian Gothic station got replaced by it's dreary modern 'hut'.
I guess the bricked up arch once led out to the other side of the tracks away from CH station? I have no idea.

Not entirely relevant - but if you like architecture, this is quite a good site http://www.derelictlondon.com/derelict_london_com.htm
The old CH station featured in the B&W film "Rotten to the Core" (somewhere towards the end).
Wasn't there a huge train crash at CH in the sixties (a short time before Beeching reduced the railways)

Tsk - have just got over the husband having a "Lord of the Rings", "James Bond" and "Star Wars" watchathons over the winter for all his mates (which were just excuses for them to eat my cakes and drink our beer). I don't think I can go through another film fest just yet... Maybe later in the year.

Since yesterday, the website now ceases to exist! Instead is a depressed and (attempted) guilt-tripping message, on the main page at http://www.southernrailwayuk.com

Oh the memories. My parents used to give me all the forms that CH sent them, told me complete what was relevant and let them know where to sign! Was fab! I don't think they actually knew what was happening for me at the school at all. They certainly only came to two parents days - one for GCSE options and because I asked them to complain to a teacher. I guess if things had been bad, they'd have known about it, so it wasn't a worry.

Many people just don't bother to do the nosey forms anymore, because most people travel to exactly the same place at exactly the same time by the same means of transport, at the beginning and end of the vast majority of holidays! They never ask you if you haven't given in your form, they just assume you're going to the same place. But I do remember when they used to get so frantic about it, and told you that it was of the utmost urgency that you hand it in...
