Twigs department: if you go looking for the Stockingford Brickworks branch, you may think that this diagonal house wall (complete with a painted advertisement for distemper) and substantial gateposts are Big Clues. Yes, but they aren't on the 'main branch', which was below road level behind the photographer. The gate appears to have been a vehicle (horse and cart?) access. Update August 2015: the advertisement for distemper has now been painted over. Notice the sinkage in the tarmac in the foreground, where a former road over rail bridge over the brickworks branch was demolished and filled in.

Location: Stanley's Brick Siding (former)

Original line: Griff Colliery Branch (London and North Western Railway)
