Felmingham
Felmingham is a village and civil parish in the English county of Norfolk. The village is located west of North Walsham and north of Norwich, along the B1145 between King's Lynn and Mundesley. History Felmingham's name is of Anglo-Saxon origin and derives from the Old English for the homestead or village of Felma's people. Nearby Stow Heath has evidence of Bronze Age round barrows and ring ditches at the confluence of the Skeyton and Blackwater Becks. Within the parish, several Roman artefacts have been discovered including pottery remains, busts, figurines, coins and a rare cast for Iceni brooches, which points to the possible site of a Roman temple. The majority of the artefacts were found in 1844 and classified under the Felmingham Hoard, which was acquired by the British Museum in 1925. In the Domesday Book, Felmingham is listed as a settlement of 33 households in the hundred of Tunstead. In 1086, the village was divided between the East Anglian estates of ...

Ordnance Survey National Grid
The Ordnance Survey National Grid reference system (OSGB) (also known as British National Grid (BNG)) is a system of geographic grid references used in Great Britain, distinct from latitude and longitude. The Ordnance Survey (OS) devised the national grid reference system, and it is heavily used in their survey data, and in maps based on those surveys, whether published by the Ordnance Survey or by commercial map producers. Grid references are also commonly quoted in other publications and data sources, such as guide books and government planning documents. A number of different systems exist that can provide grid references for locations within the British Isles: this article describes the system created solely for Great Britain and its outlying islands (including the Isle of Man); the Irish grid reference system was a similar system created by the Ordnance Survey of Ireland and the Ordnance Survey of Northern Ireland for the island of Ireland.

Midland And Great Northern Joint Railway
The Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway (M&GNJR) was a railway network in England, in the area connecting southern Lincolnshire, the Isle of Ely and north Norfolk. It developed from several local independent concerns and was incorporated in 1893. It was jointly owned by the Midland Railway and the Great Northern Railway, and those companies had long sponsored and operated the predecessor companies. The area directly served was agricultural and sparsely populated, but seaside holidays had developed and the M&GNJR ran many long-distance express trains to and from the territory of the parent companies, as well as summer local trains for holidaymakers. It had the longest mileage of any joint railway in the United Kingdom. In the grouping of 1923, the two joint owners of the M&GNJR were absorbed into two separate companies (the Midland into the London, Midland and Scottish Railway and the Great Northern into the London and North Eastern Railway). The M&GNJR maintained a disti ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Former Midland And Great Northern Joint Railway Stations
A former is an object, such as a template, gauge or cutting die, which is used to form something such as a boat's hull. Typically, a former gives shape to a structure that may have complex curvature. A former may become an integral part of the finished structure, as in an aircraft fuselage, or it may be removable, being using in the construction process and then discarded or re-used. Aircraft formers Formers are used in the construction of aircraft fuselage, of which a typical fuselage has a series from the nose to the empennage, typically perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft. The primary purpose of formers is to establish the shape of the fuselage and reduce the column length of stringers to prevent instability. Formers are typically attached to longerons, which support the skin of the aircraft. The "former-and-longeron" technique (also called stations and stringers) was adopted from boat construction, and was typical of light aircraft built until the a ...
