I've got Vol 2. Its not up to the standard finish/production wise of Vol 1 but plenty of information. I'll scan a few pages and put them on here tomorrow. -
Usually but then you could in those days although you would need some time. I think he must have used the vehicle below to get from Waterford station to the Goods Yard. I think its Waterford Goods yard entrance , I have been up that lane over the road a few times in the 2000's and then climbed the hill to the Golf Course on the top which gave you a panoramic view of the yard and line west. The house is no longer there though. HCC didn'r record much information about this view so I'm left wondering what was the horse's name, and the driver's , what brand of cigarette is he smoking but most of all is that a light on the horse's neck or is it a street lamp on the road GSR 1929-09-14 Waterford Goods yard , Jaunting cart HCC glass 6189 Cas25024.

I took this whilst at Hinksey Yard Oxford a couple of weeks ago. It keeps reminding of old photos of the Battle of Brittain in 1940!. Oddly enough on other mornings despite the clear blue sunny sky there wasn't any. It must be something to do with the air temperature or did I have a baby slug crawling over my lens?
