HER SPECIAL TRAIN
Fisherman’s Daughter’s Day
<she is only a fisherman’s daughter, but a" railway was reopened to run a special train for her-when she was married. The bride, Miss Annie Elizabeth Young, would have had to scramble over miles of beach from her lonely home at Lazle, Dungeness, to the nearest road if the managing director of the little Romney, Hythe, and Dymchurch railway had not acted as a fa iry godfather. The railway track passes close to the bride’s home, but there would have
been no train if one had not been run specially for the occasion. It took Miss Young and her family to the pilot station at Dungeness, the terminus of the line, and thence they travelled by car to Lydd Church, where Miss Young was married to Mr. J. A. Bingham, of the Royal Engineers, Dover. After the ceremony the couple motored back to the pilot station and boarded their “special” to return to the bride’s home for the wedding breakfast.
