View ENE, on the B3002 road near Bordon Camp, the line to the left going to Bordon and a junction with the ex-LSWR branch from Bentley; on the right the line went to Bordon Camp, Longmoor etc., etc. and eventually to Liss on the ex-LSWR main line to Portsmouth. There is a signalbox (freshly painted in Army fashion) on the left, but no crossing-gates. Crossing with a LMR brakevan is a typical WD 0-6-0ST (number not recorded, but probably No. 102 'Caen'). This is in the latter days of the LMR, as it was all closed by October 1969.
