Grey Grim Grisly Halloween
​Harford  Bridge
Clive Smith

A Thursday off work and some hoped for sunshine was very wishful thinking with the current weather. Fat chance of photographing the cements and RHTT amidst the glorious changing autumnal colours. Here is my quartet showing activity in an hour at Harford Road Bridge west of Ivybridge station on the edge of dank dismal Dartmoor.

Regards, Clive Smith   
Very sincere apologies to Clive - this is an item which really should have gone into yesterday's selection. However it is  as usual a well detailed and very interesting collection. Many thanks Clive - hope you didn't get too wet.

There was always an interesting selection of locos to photograph off the ‘up’ platform as it was in the early 70’s at Exeter St Davids.
20th August 1971 saw Warship 823 Hermes and 6334 amongst many others. 
Many thanks Ron.
