    Hi Neil,

    A bit of clarification on two pictures
    21C11 18/41 is between St Denys and Mount Pleasant LC Horseshoe Road bridge at St Denys is visible in the background
    21C15 26/41 is Mount Pleasant LC down home signals, with distant signals for Northam Jn and ringed subsidiary arms at a lower level for the Northam Yard reception lines.

    Overall a lovely selection of photos, especially the colour one at Basingstoke in 1947.

    Cheers, Neil
