  The Colinton Tunnel - preserving history and heritage

Is this the "longest" RLS poem ever?

"From a Railway Carriage" now completed along 140 metres of wall. 

16 lines of beautifully illustrated poetry linking to our history and heritage.

Could it be a new record for a poem?  Tell us if you know!

An enchanting mural in a Victorian railway tunnel, created to preserve local history and to make people smile - as Craig Hill's video shows!
