Midford Station & viaduct
Looking along the length of the 8-arch Midford Viaduct to the station at which the 1.21pm from Bath Green Park is waiting. Its progress is recorded here: ST7660 : Midford - the last autumn of the Somerset & Dorset. A closer post-closure view of the halt & signal box is here: ST7660 : Midford Station & signal box. Midford had been downgraded to an unstaffed Halt a few years before closure.

The photo taken by the man on the signal ladder will appear a few days later on the front of the Western Daily Press.
