Pig Pen Repair
© Ian Robins

This interesting artefact, built to transport one pig by train, has been displayed on the platform at BL for the last few years but has now been taken indoors for essential repairs.
It bears the legend 'Sock Herd of Large Black Pigs', having originally come from a farm in the village of Mudford Sock, near Yeovil.
