Aylesbury: Trackbed of the former railway to Cheddington
It's difficult to visualize now but this is the trackbed of the long-dismantled former London & North Western Railway's Cheddington to Aylesbury branch line. The railway was built as long ago as 1839, but was an early pre-Beeching casualty of closure, passenger services having been terminated in 1953 and goods in 1964. The railway ran dead straight from just outside Aylesbury to just outside Cheddington, and it ran here from the photographer's position towards the white car. The line here was double-tracked at the approach to Aylesbury High Street station.
Stocklake is the road on the right. More houses must have been built along Stocklake after the old photograph was taken.

Aylesbury: Stocklake Industrial Estate electricity pylon
This is the terminal pylon at the end of a short high voltage electricity distribution line from a substation near Burcott. This type of tower is unusual in having a permanent maintenance platform. The houses in the background are on the road called Stocklake.
