Bit like this?

Could be anywhere with those standard shops.

How about Milford Haven?

I think it's the darkness in the picture, this one from 1978 shows the pointwork. the 1974 picture was on a Boots Beirette, while in 1978 I'd graduated onto an Olympus OM1.

Blaenau Ffestiniog, modellers eye view (!) 1974.

Filton Junction seen here after a fire.

How about Dinting? Great view from the working platform.

In open countryside, bank to bank would be 38', towpath 7'6", this on a narrow canal.

When did that stop? Seen here in 1979.

Broad street here in 1984.

I was about to post a picture of Bedford St Johns, but realised I'd already posted that picture on this forum before, and then I remembered Dorchester!

Dorchester (GW) I think won an award once for most decrepit station. Mentioned in the Wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorchester_West_railway_station

My picture is of Midsomer Norton shed 15/8/1976.

The picture shows discolouration on part of the timber (water damage, as under the skylight), but I would say no, unpainted on the main timbers. There is a gorgeous shot of the interior of the goods shed at Paignton, dating from 1922, as in my picture showing whitewashed walls and roof.

I think the inside of the roof would be whitewash, looking through a few pictures I have.
