SU7498 : Crossing Cottage, Kingston Blount

taken 11 years ago, near to Kingston Blount, Oxfordshire, England

Crossing Cottage, Kingston Blount
Crossing Cottage, Kingston Blount
That's the name on the gate of this isolated house by where an old railway line used to cross a minor road, so I'm guessing this was where a level crossing keeper would have lived.
This was taken from the Ridgeway, with the rail track shown as going right past the front door where the garden is now.
