56036 Denchworth 7 February 1987

With just a trace of weak winter sunshine, 56036 passes Denchworth on 7 February 1987 with the 6V11 10:03 Wolverton to Stoke Gifford ARC stone empties. Although a little awkward, as the bridge is situated on a very sharp bend in the road, this was an excellent vantage point prior to the erection of a pair of enormous signal gantries on either side of the bridge in the 1990s. With hindsight I should have taken more pictures from this spot rather than the much more popular Circourt Bridge a mile to the west.
