So Who Were George Harry Barrowcliff and Arnold Montague Barrowcliff For the April A-Z Blogging Challenge 2026, here's a piece on architects of teh Barrowcliff family.

An old sepia photograph of Station Master Tindall Bowman in his L.N.E.R. uniform. We see the top part of his body; he is sitting in a chair, body facing towards the left and slightly towards us, with his head turned so that he looking directly at the camera. He is wearing a cap with 'LNER' on the front of it, a jacket, and a bow tie. He has a moustache, neatly-trimmed beard, and sideburns.

In 2018 our members rose to the A to Z Blogging Challenge by writing on the theme of People of My Place. Pam Smith @genejean.bsky.social wrote about Tindall Bowman of Rillington, North Yorkshire, who was Station Master in Pam’s Rillington #OnePlaceStudy for 18 years. #Railway200
