My best move for #Rillington #OnePlaceWednesday? Involving villagers near & far. They talk to me & each other, filling gaps in records. Today brought memories of one of the last trains to stop at Rillington & of Ray Buckton ASLEF shovelling coal for a local driver.

A village doctor, a mysterious skeleton, two private patients, a “fiery dragon” on the railway and a Victorian with a wonderfully dry sense of humour.

Meet Dr Thomas Allanson, who spent more than 50 years watching #Rillington change on #OnePlaceWednesday
