NINETEEN SIXTY FOUR – PART 83
Mystery Photograph
Michael L. Roach
A Merry Christmas and Happy 2026 to all readers of this column. A particular thanks to the CRS webmaster, Jon Hird, and his assistants for putting new items on the website every single day of the year which is a marvellous achievement. Jon is also a first-class photographer who keeps us entertained with his photos and drone pictures from angles that we have never seen before. Long may it continue. If you are a regular reader and live outside the United Kingdom why not say hullo and let us know where you live.
This mystery photo was taken just before dusk on a bleak, misty and bitterly cold December day when the temperature hovered just above freezing all day. The rails are set into a public road and are still visible decades after the line closed. The wall was probably built with reclaimed bricks after the line closed and it is believed that the whole scene still looks similar to this day. Where is it?

Many thanks indeed for your kind words, Mike - you're making me blush! It's been a great privilege to step in and take the reins of the CRS website over the past few years, it's an extremely valuable resource and testament to the thousands of hours that Keith and Roger have put into it. - Jon
