Railway in the Garden
Image: © Des Blenkinsopp Taken: Unknown
In the garden of a remote house along a track south of Aston Tirrold there used to be a fair sized miniature railway. I never saw anyone there and certainly never saw it working but one day I thought I would take a picture of it. Not long after, the people must have moved and this all got cleared away. The sign says "Sheepcote Signal Box" after Sheepcote Farm just along the way. From a print. Date approximate.
