Sudbury [2nd]
On Thursday 23rd April 1953 two workmen were busy at Sudbury station updating the running in boards. Their job was to replace the pre-nationalisation signs with the blue enamel versions that identified the station as being BR Eastern Region. Just as they were fixing one of the new boards in place (the one in this photo, pictured 23 years later), they decided to leave their names and the date penciled on a piece of adhesive tape behind the enamel nameplate for posterity. Their note saw the light of day again at the next resigning of the station in 1980. No doubt the workmen, Mr R. Pleasance and Mr P.J.Pullard, would have been pleased to know that their “message in a bottle†was still afloat well into the 21st century.
