Pole mounted post box, Westcott Estate
The box has the crown and EiiR cypher on a plate stuck on below the letter slot. The words "Royal Mail" are crudely stamped into a strip riveted above the slot. Collection is shown as 9.00 am Monday to Friday, and Saturday. The notice showing this doesn't quite fit the box, so some lettering is obscured. There is a slot for a plate to show the next collection day, but no plate has been installed. Altogether a shoddy effort.

Milk at Acton
Class 25, 25175, descends from Acton Wells Junction towards the Great Western mainline with a train of 6 wheeled milk tankers returning empty to the West Country. This is a type of traffic that is no longer handled by the railways - now exclusively carried by road tankers. Behind the train on the left is part of Leamington Park Hospital. The hospital opened in 1905 as Acton Isolation Hospital and closed in 1983. It was replaced by a housing estate.
