Thread Name: Victoria in the gin shop
Subject: RE: Victoria in the gin shop
' As a tailpiece, there is a pic. of the Somerset Hotel (photographed 8/01/2012) as seen from the point where the last down train (as reported in the Dorset County Chronicle of 28 Aug 1862) hauled by Broad Gauge Victoria class 2-4-0 loco “Victoria”, only just avoided ending up in the saloon bar having run away down the Upwey bank. This gave rise to the music hall song “Victoria in the Gin Shop”. '

From http://www.keykits.net/WHT/

However, zilch on the song lyrics.
