- W2331101034 abstract "AN English newspaper from 1849 states: ‘Billie Mire, near Reston, is reputed to have been a favourite haunt of the fairies; which, if they have not already departed, are now likely to be for ever banished by the sound of the railway whistle.’1 In 1850, a Scottish journalist writes: ‘If the fairies have fled before the steam whistle from many a sylvan scene,—so have the old local tyrannies that made men moral slaves’.2 A visit to Penrhyn castle in Wales, likewise in 1850, leads to the reflection, ‘[The castle] is one of those places in which a tolerably timid person could contrive to imagine a ghost when darkness was falling; but as ghosts and fairies are only imaginary things since the introduction of railways and schools, no one need be particularly alarmed’.3 A newspaper in 1863 celebrates a fair at St Briavels: ‘Afterwards the usual rustic sports took place that so delighted our simple-minded ancestors in that age when fairies and ghosts were not put to the rout by those despots, Steam and Progress’.4The Graphic, in 1884, tells how ‘the ‘good people’ fled even from the remotest nooks at the sound of the steam whistle’.5 In 1885, one Alice King writes of Exmoor, in part in relation to fairies: ‘Here, fancy and poetry have not, as yet, quite fled from the land before the scream of the steam whistle.’6 Remembering Speyside in 1887, yet another author puts down how: ‘In the lone glens by the turbid Spey the whistle of the panting engine has scared the fairies from their haunts, and the enterprising engineer has built a stout bridge, where the waterkelpies of yore lured travellers to destruction’.7" @default.
