Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: formerly The Mallard Former public house on Little Bytham High Street
On Sunday 3rd July 1938 the stretch of track between Grantham and Peterborough, (including the viaduct beside the pub) https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1761688 the LNER 4-6-2 locomotive No.4468 'Mallard' hauling seven coaches weighing 240 tons achieved the highest speed ever ratified for a steam locomotive of 126 mph over a distance of 440 yards. Driver Joseph Duddington was at the controls with Fireman Thomas Bray. The 16th century hostelry in the village High Street below the arches was originally known as The Green Man but because of the growing interest in railways and the steam engine record, its name was changed to 'The Mallard' in 1978 and although it closed in 2002 and is now a private residence, it has been named Mallard House. The viaduct is still in use and inter-city express trains on the east coast mainline thunder past. |
