The former Ballingham railway station. The relatively modest buildings of this little used station on the Ross-on-Wye to Hereford line have been greatly extended to form this house. The station was actually nearer to Carey than Ballingham! The photograph was taken from the road bridge that still spans the railway route.

Fawley Court Country home of Sir John Kyrle, Man of Ross. Dates from 1630 - 'strangely reactionary', according to Pevsner. Immaculate in every way with stunning gardens and a lethal road junction just over my left shoulder, where I was winged by a flying cyclist.
