An aerial view of the historic train building factory in Derby, still churning out new trains

A bit difficult to see on these small embedded images, but if you look around there a lots of train body parts and shells lying around, and what looks like railway lines running down each side road of the factory estate.

It seems there are several Tittybottle Parks in Yorkshire and County Durham. "Tittybottle" appears to be an old term for a baby's feeding bottle.

Most Tittybottle Parks are small affairs with benches and....are on the edge of well-to-do Victorian developments, where the homeowners could afford nursemaids to help with their babies. The nursemaids would take their perambulators to the nearest bit of park and sit and gossip with their fellows while giving the infant a tittybottle.

I wonder if the tittybottle should be the official feeder of the New Hall of the Wendigo. hmm

It should definitely be the Official park of the Nu-HotW though. yes

Apparently local people are supposed to report to customs if they want to cross the road to visit their opposite neighbours, although it's not strictly enforced.

I remember, as a kid, walking across the street and into Derbyshire and being very excited that I'd crossed over into another country. yes

Did you have to report to Derbyshire customs?
