47219 Bletchingdon 17 August 1988

47219 passes the site of Bletchingdon station on 17 August 1988 with the 6V36 15:53 Longbridge to Morris Cowley car component empties. I pressed the shutter a little earlier than normal to avoid the shadow which had reached the track in the foreground. There was no ten frames per second to pick the perfect shot in those days! This wider than normal view shows the new house on the old station site, a view which is now totally screened by tall trees. The Jaguar parked on the right was obviously a prestige car at the time, but that hasn't stopped it being subsequently scrapped, as there is no record of it on the DVLA database.
