Rugd1022 Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 First thought is Solihull or Olton.... the iron gate in the bottom pic looks very GWR, and the motors in the second look rather ace! Nidge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Druid Posted January 10, 2010 Author Share Posted January 10, 2010 Nidge I should have said well south of Birmingham .Just didnt want to give it away too soon. GWR certainly warm. Druid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim49 Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Yes it does look a bit like a dairy - the guy with the white boiler suit and the white storage tank(?) beside the trees in picture 1 give that impression. The sign at the car park entrance is headed ST - short for St Ivel? As to location, haven't a clue as usual. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rail-Online Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Hi, Is that rails inset in the road of the first photo? If so should help at a pure guess St Austell or the Port of Par..... Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Druid Posted January 10, 2010 Author Share Posted January 10, 2010 Yes Hemyock . I understand creamery continued into the late eighties but transported by lorry . Car Park is the old station site and the gate is from the old entrance . Druid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugd1022 Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Ah, I was only a 'few yards' out then Nidge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve K Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 ... the motors in the second pic look rather ace! I saw that photo and thought "late 70s" (MkI Capri, Austin 1100/1300 estate etc), but then I noticed the MkIII Escort, which means it's no earlier than 1980!

Irishswissernie Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 I have a few photos of Hemyock in happier days on this collection; it was the building above the carpark on the right that clinched it! http://my.fotopic.net/collection/01477949/ regards Ernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
