6. Ickenham. I'll admit I found the exact picture online, but I did do it by working out the location from clues and then trying it - first guess, honest!

3. Gloucester Eastgate station from the southwest with Barton Street level crossing and the distinctive signal box in the foreground, circa 1970. Nothing remains of these railway structures, and the route of the line at this point is now a road.
I remember the station from when my train to Cheltenham stopped there in 1973.
