Fact of the day

Axminster railway station was opened on July 19 1860, with the London and South Western Railway offering direct services between Queen Street station in Exeter and Yeovil. The station building was designed by architect Sir William Tite in mock gothic style. In 1903, the branch line from Axminster to Lyme Regis was opened, later to be closed amid the Beeching cuts of the 1960s.

On this day...

On October 21 1966, tragedy struck the Welsh village of Aberfan when 144 people, mainly children, were been buried by a coal slag heap. The last body was recovered nearly a week after the disaster happened with National Coal Board later found to to be wholly responsible.
