The housing in the centre of the photo sits on the old railway alignment and there is now a footpath between Langham Road and Downhills Park Road where once a footbridge crossed the line. The two sets of rails embedded in the pathway are fakes: they are far too wide for the UK standard gauge tracks that once sat there. The artwork on the wall of the electricity substation gives a nod to a bygone age but strikes me at kitsch.
