That's a great article from my original neck of the woods; my dad was born in a converted railway carriage house on Felpham seafront 4 miles west of Pagham in 1948! He'll love to see this, thanks for the find.

I pass a victorian carriage everyday on the way to work, it's in their back garden as a summer house. There are Many within 5 miles of me such as this one.
