The county of Rutland has been around for centuries and is with us again after breaking away from the Leicestershire merger of the 1970s. Small is beautiful, as the saying goes and England’s smallest county certainly has some of the most beautiful villages in the country. In this programme we explore many of Rutland’s little gems and discover some unusual locations. Join us in our look around such locations as Lyddington, Exton, Burley on the Hill, Barrowden, South Luffenham, Seaton, Stoke Dry, Belemesthorpe, Tickencote and Whissendine.

Saving of Settle Signal Box
£4.00The remarkable story of how Settle’s old 1891 signal box was moved from its location of over 100 years to nearer the station. The movement required special measures being put in place to make certain the structure was secure and steel bracing put around it. A 90-ton road crane was hired in to lift the box onto six trolleys positioned across the main Settle-Carlisle Line which was closed and in a possession for track work elsewhere along the route.
This is the photographic story of the movement in 1997 and the restoration of the signal box as seen by photographs by Roger Hardingham.
