Tuffley Junction
A DMU from Gloucester Eastgate approaches Tuffley Junction on the former Midland Railway line. This line was plagued with level crossings and was eventually closed and lifted in the 1970s when all traffic was diverted into Gloucester Central. The line on the right, today's main line, is the former Great Western Main line from Gloucester South Junction. The course of line can be seen on the OS maps by examining the fence lines behind the buildings on Stroud Road.

Tuffley Avenue, Gloucester
The house on the left is typical of many in this part of this mainly residential square. The building on the right replaced a house demolished when a 'plane crashed into it on the 27th March 1963. A twin engined Vickers Varsity aircraft crashed onto the house. The three elderly occupants survived unhurt apart from shock and scratches, however the house and the neighbouring property that the Drury family also owned were flooded with aviation fuel. The plane was on a training run from Staverton Airport and tragically the crew of two were killed. See:- http://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=19630327-0 and http://www.visit-gloucestershire.co.uk/boards/topic/72-g-apaz-the-tuffley-varsity/ .
From a personal perspective I remember cycling home from school nearby and seeing the area cordonned off and the remains of the fuselage embedded in the top half of the house.

Former Tuffley Junction
The railway line once split off to the left as can be seen in another image on this gridsquare. The location is now growing birches and brambles but just beyond the photo the house of Larkspear Close have been built on the route of the old track. Viewed from the Stroud Road bridge.
