47490 Denchworth (Circourt Bridge) 24 October 1989

47490 Bristol Bath Road approaches Circourt Bridge, Denchworth, on 24 October 1989 with the 1A27 09:03 Bristol Temple Meads to Paddington service. This route was dominated by HSTs at the time, but this train was booked for a Class 47. In view of the perfect autumn light, it's a pity that I didn't take this on Fujichrome 100 with the Pentax 6x7, rather than Fujichrome 50 with a 35mm Canon A1, but this was before I bought a second Pentax 6x7 body, and at the time the Pentax was loaded with Ilford XP1 black and white film.
