Posted by Jock; "Finally, a picture of Oxenholme Station as the Swallows would have seen it".
Hmm, not quite. The wall is not there.

Sorry, sorry. I plead guilty. It's too easy to slip into trying to fit the Ss and As into the real 1930s
landscape and to forget that we should write of them as inhabiting AR's fictional landscape.

The painting showing the pre WW II Oxenholme may not be photographically accurate. For instance,
the ventilated parcels office is shown in the painting as being in front of the SW corner wall,
whereas in the modern photo it is to the East of the wall.
