Doors Open - 2.30pm, starts at 3pm

Mr Middle has created a predictable life of routine for himself and his loyal dog, Shackleton. Together they enjoy simple walks and evenings in, but Shackleton longs for more adventure. Mr Middle keeps his world as small as possible, but one day the garden gate is left ajar…

As a member of the committee you will also take an active role in decision making at bi-monthly meetings, and in the development of the Village Hall as a central community hub.

Old ITV programme about the Charfield Railway Crash 1928

Locals sharing memories at the Railway Tavern Pub in Charfield. People interviewed: Mrs Hazel, then "Jibby' Jones, then Reginald Pagett.

Thanks to Graham Tyndall for sharing this with us.

"It was broadcast on ITV many years ago and they kindly sent me a video of the program.
My father is in the video talking about the lady in black and the children's shoes. He worked on the railway in Charfield as a Ganger and we lived in a cottage just below the Plough Inn.
When the cottages were demolished we moved to Charfield Green on the corner right next to the railway line."

More information about the disaster.
