HS2 works beside the Oxford Canal A huge pile of earth has arisen here beside the canal near Stoneton Bridge. This will form the route of the new High Speed 2 railway. There was no sign of work being done in this Sunday view, however.

The Turnover Bridge at 'The Tunnel' This cast-iron bridge on the Oxford Canal was installed to allow horses on the towpath to change from one side of the canal to the other.  Originally a narrow tunnel was built here, but it was opened out in later years to allow a better traffic flow along the route.  This part of the canal is still known as 'The Tunnel'.

Fenny Compton South Junction This is the junction on the Great Western main line at Fenny Compton for the branch to the MOD Kineton army base.  This line is the remaining stub of the Stratford & Midland Junction Railway, a rambling group of cross-country lines that were closed in the 1960's.  The grey cabin is what now passes for a signalbox, the junction these days being controlled remotely from a signalling centre.
