Brendon Incline
      Winding house
      John Thorn

This very recently received picture of the Brendon Incline Winding House on the West Somerset Mineral Railway taken in the late 60's by John Thorn, puts, to me a completely different perspective on the location. In later pictures tree growth around the ruin completely covers the hillside into which the house is set.  Many thanks to you, john, for this view.
