Some lockdown pictures of the GWSR.
Although C&W is back to "the new normal" now, Nick had a few more photos to share, from the first lockdown earlier in the year, and they were too good to sit on! -Ed.
I thought this week, we could stay with the Railway theme, so here is a small selection from the long lockdown.
A very empty Broadway station, in perfect weather.
The bridge is in a very poor state of repair .....
A little further south is Pry Lane bridge, this is our Railway now so is obviously kept in good repair.
I apologise about the dustbin ..... no photo shopping here ....
No trains, nobody except us at Laverton footpath crossing.
Even the sign was lonely. (I'm sure a nice black and white GWR cast sign would look more at home! Ed.)
I have to own up, this may have been used before. It was taken after lockdown was modified, hence the roller shutter is open on the Barn ..... we were high on the hill to the East of Winchcombe.
Lastly from a very long way away, at last a Train ..... lets hope 2021 brings many more images like this one.
A fine informative blog, thank you.
ReplyDeleteLooking at those distant pictures of Broadway station, it's a bit hard to recall that not too many years ago, there was absolutely _nothing_ there. It's a fine memorial to those we've since lost, who all worked so hard to bring it to us (not to forget those are thankfully still with us, of course).
