Re: Tichborne girl makes a go of it in Parham
I really enjoyed the article on Mary Howes: Tichborne girl makes a go of it in Parham, whom I have known for many years. I was a telegraph operator with the CPR for 5 years, having apprenticed under Tom Asseltine in 1955, at the Tichborne Station, and worked there many times until it was closed. I am in possession of the brass stamp (used with sealing wax to seal envelopes) for the "CAN.PAC.RY.CO." (Canadian Pacific Railway Company) "PARHAM JCT ONT", so assume that Tichborne was originally known as Parham Junction, not Tichborne Junction. I have wondered for years where Parham Junction was and was glad that this was in the article on Mary.
