Title: Chris from Nailsea's day out - 9 August 2010 Post by: Chris from Nailsea on August 10, 2010, 15:02:07 I had a day out yesterday: just a few pictures here for you to identify!

And are you stalking Ollie?! (see picture two at http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=7349.0 (http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=7349.0)) ;)

Title: Re: Chris from Nailsea's day out - 9 August 2010 Post by: Tim on August 10, 2010, 15:44:55 The signal in number 2 is not a railway signal but a signal to boats. It is connected to the swing bridge in bristol harbour.
Title: Re: Chris from Nailsea's day out - 9 August 2010 Post by: Chris from Nailsea on August 10, 2010, 15:49:33 2. Correct - the Prince Street swing bridge. :D
Title: Re: Chris from Nailsea's day out - 9 August 2010 Post by: inspector_blakey on August 10, 2010, 15:52:48 ...and picture 3 I'm guessing is a bridge that's 126 miles and 34 chains from somewhere. Which, assuming that's distance from Paddington, would place it in Bristol city centre somewhere or other. I vaguely remember seeing a similar mileage painted on one of the bridges over the Portbury line around Ashton Gate/Bower Ashton (which would fit with the vicinity of the Bristol Harbour railway, I suppose), although I think that was a metal bridge rather than having a parapet made out of breeze blocks.

Title: Re: Chris from Nailsea's day out - 9 August 2010 Post by: TheLastMinute on August 10, 2010, 16:41:55 You're about 8 miles out Blakey, Temple Meads is around MP 118.5. Try further out...
Title: Re: Chris from Nailsea's day out - 9 August 2010 Post by: JayMac on August 10, 2010, 18:37:04 Distance on that mile marker is about right for Nailsea
Title: Re: Chris from Nailsea's day out - 9 August 2010 Post by: Chris from Nailsea on August 10, 2010, 18:42:29 3. Correct - it's actually just a tiny bit to the right (and up a bit!) on this picture:
