The narrowboat has been moved well above water level for repairs to be carried out. It is a long way from home, being lettered for the Wey Navigation in Surrey.

Tall 50 limit signs
There seems no need for such tall signs here, there is no severe hump in the road or anything like that.

Site of Bletchington Station
From 1855 to 1892 it was named named Kirtlington, which is slightly nearer than Bletchingdon (or is it Bletchington http://www.bletchingdon-pc.org.uk/ ?), but renamed to avoid confusion with Kidlington which was the next station to the south, and itself renamed at the same time from Woodstock Road after the opening of the branch line to Woodstock. Must have been confusing for the locals. The station closed in 1965, but looked like this http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1833402 in 1961.
