BernardTPM Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Reading the responses under it might not be as late as 1970, though it can't be earlier than 1963 because of the yellow Bantam Karrier with Rail freight 'flying crate' arrow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearholmer Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Where is this Denton? I don’t recognise it as the one near Strood, but maybe I’ve not got my eyes switched on properly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it does look more 60s than 70s, but it's one of those "cool photos I can crowbar into an existing thread" situations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Regularity Posted July 16, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 16, 2021 (edited) There are at least 12 Dentons in England, excluding Upper Denton and Denton Holme. It is also the fictional location for the nearest town in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, so who knows what that railway man is about to do… …it’s just a step to your left… Edited July 16, 2021 by Regularity The Denton in Northamptonshire has a very nice pub with excellent food. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
