Yay! Arthur Wharton and all things Darlo. If you are planning a visit there is an award winning pub run by a mate of mine The Quakerhouse which is in the town centre and well worth a visit.

The brick train was completed in 1997 not 1987. I know this because when I attended Heathfield primary school we all put something in a 'time captual' that was encased in the brick train itself. Can't remember what exactly because I was 9-10 years old. But it definitely wasn't about in 1987 as that was the year I was born.

I think it was definitely a slip of the tongue! Too many facts to remember in my small brain ha ha but thank you 😀

Great video mate,but I must correct you on the building of the Brick Train, Designer was David Mach and the train known as the Mallard was built in 1997.
