Grimsbury Water Treatment Works
Part of Thames Water's treatment site.
The stainless steel cylinder in the foreground is a tipping bucket rain gauge providing real time rainfall intensity data via telemetry.
It is operated by the Environment Agency, and the data is also used by the Met. Office.
The copper cylinder next to it is a check gauge which is read manually every month just to check that the automatic readings tally.
I have no idea what the big green tanks do,

Birkenhead - Margate/Eastbourne express approaching Banbury
View northward at Banbury Junction Yards, towards Birmingham etc. on the GWR main line (left), also (right) the ex-GC line to Woodford Halse, Leicester and the North; these were major yards for the exchange of freight traffic between the two north-south systems. Collett-design 4-6-0 No. 7008 'Swansea Castle' (built 5/48, withdrawn 9/64) has taken on the 07.40 ex-Birkenhead Woodside at Wolverhampton and is working to Reading, whence successive SR locomotives will work the several parts of the multiple train via Redhill, then Brighton/Eastbourne and Tonbridge/Ashford/Folkestone/Margate. (The train seems to be made up mainly of SR stock).

Site of Banbury yards
A modern DMU heads towards Leamington and Birmingham along the ex-GWR main line. The modern sheds on the right now occupy the site of the once extensive Banbury sidings. Just beyond the further of them was the site of Banbury junction where the ex-Great Central Branch to Culworth Junction diverged to the right.
