More about this scene
Children once played on this old railway engine, but today this local landmark is a sad, neglected relic, left over from the great days of steam travel. Fencing now prevents anyone climbing over it for health and safety reasons. The chestnut tree to the right of it has gone, as have most of the houses in the background. A bus station and car park now make up the scene.
