Well done granderog it was indeed taken at Upnir Castle by our granddaughter. Just for the record we don’t always dress that way!
Over to you once more 🤓

Thanks Granarog, I did some work here around the turn of the century for the Dartford Area Resignalling project. I had to design an interface between the mechanical token instrument that controlled the single line and a solid state interlocking.
The next one is just for fun, Mrs Stewie and myself on a day out a few years ago, but where were we?
I shall be at the footie this afternoon and out this evening so may be unable to respond straight away!

Location information:
  • Nat Grid:                    TQ 86306 75297
  • Nearest Post Code:   ME3 0HA
  • Co-ords (WGS84):     51°26'46"N,000°40'47"E or 51.446011,0.679610
It's on the Isle of Grain at Wallend (sounds like Tyneside to me) where the A228 Grain Road becomes the B2001 Grain Road.

Well if you look through the window there is the balance arm of a semaphore signal.  The fence in the foreground and the name on the cabin makes me wonder if we are looking for a level crossing over a heritage line?
