Steam Trains
In keeping with the on-site Head of Steam railway pub, several steam trains still pass through Huddersfield station including the Cotton Mill Express and the Scarborough Flyer.
On the disused side of Platform 2 of this station, an old carriage is bolted to the ground, and set in its window is a plaque commemorating 100 years of Steamtrain Hoorn Medemblik, a Dutch steam train.

And the slime in hotel spittoons:
Part of my life.”
