Course of old railway near Longhope
Here's where the railway ran towards Longhope. The gateposts, and possibly even the gate, appear to date back to when the railway was active. There was a level crossing here which carried the railway across a farm track.
After taking this, I was approached by a chap who looked like the stereotypical Gloucestershire farmer. He looked a bit suspicious and told me he was from the Neighbourhood Watch scheme, so I hastened to reassure him by telling him I was photographing the remains of the railway. It was as if I had opened some floodgates! He told me how he remembered the railway being operational, and using it to go on his holidays as a child, and if I got a chance I should go and photograph Doctor Beeching's grave and maybe dance on it, and so on and on and on. It's always nice to meet another railway enthusiast, but I thought I'd never get away from this one!
