The sign is from a local station of the now demolished Didcot to Newbury line. The station building this came from is still there. Ironically in a place called Beacham Close named after the person who closed down the line. Can't think why the council would call it after some one who cut them off

Those are great pictures.

It looks lovely! It reminds me of the GWSR in Gloucestershire, which runs from Cheltenham Racecourse through Winchcombe and Toddington to Broadway.
ReplyDeleteOld railways and the stations too are wonderful to visit.
