Railway west of Tisbury

A view east of the ex London & South Western Railway (LSWR) main Salisbury to Exeter railway line. This has suffered downgrading in past years, being singled for much of its length, but hopefully it might be upgraded in the future, with rail traffic increasing.

Newtown: a hidden phone box

This telephone box has been rather overcome by the adjacent foliage in the 8 years since it was photographed here: ST9128 : Telephone box, Newtown The ivy has also made its way into the box from the far corner, not via the door which seems to be jammed half-open. A notice in the box, saying that BT propose to remove it as it isn't sufficiently used, is dated 2009 although the phone apparatus is still in the box. A postbox in a pillar can be seen to the far left.
