Manningtree
The 13.30 Ipswich to Liverpool Street crosses the River Stour at Manningtree on 13th May 1979. The industrial complex in the background is the former British Xylonite (BXL) plastics factory at Brantham which ceased production in 2007. The factory siding can be seen behind the last carriage. The site of the demolished factory was eventually redeveloped as a train maintenance and stabling depot which opened in February 2017.
