View NW, towards Worcester etc. on the ex-GWR London - Oxford - Worcester main line. Fifty and more years ago, this was a junction of some importance: at the north end, to the right there was a branch to Chipping Norton (closed 3/12/62, goods 7/9/64), being the root of a line through to King's Sutton (for Banbury) closed 4/12/51); to the west (left) a branch went via Bourton-on-the-Water and Andoversford to Cheltenham, lasting until 15/10/62 (goods to Bourton, 7/9/64). Until 12/10/53 a bridge, subsequently demolished, across the main line allowed through running avoiding Kingham station. (Cf.Image and others).
