    Great details in the dress and I wonder how many did not come back.

    Great photo. It gives a really good idea of how people dressed at the time, children, women and men, the detail is so good. It's hard to imagine this is less than 100 yrs ago.

    Clerestories just visible! Does anyone know the location? 4-2-2 Rover Class : Inkermann, built 1878, withdrawn 1892, name commemorates the Battle of Inkerman (1854, Crimean War); name reused from earlier Iron Duke class (also 4-2-2). See also : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GWR_Iron_Duke_Class "Thanks to the encouragement of Thomas Tunstall, the Shedmaster at Newton Abbot, [Rev Malan] was able to gain access to and photograph probably more broad gauge locomotives than anyone else. He died in Salisbury on 11 January 1928. His son, Francis Malan, donated three volumes of photographs of broad gauge trains and views of Swindon Works to the Great Western Railway in September 1935 and these are now in the National Archives, Kew" [as per the reference above], from : John Speller's web pages.

    This is a very well-known photograph taken by Rev. A.H.Malan shortly before abolition of the broad gauge. It has been reproduced in many books. Location is Weston Junction on the Bristol to Taunton line. The junction to Weston Super Mare can be seen in the background. The view is looking towards Bristol. The train is passing under Moor Lane Bridge. Particularly interesting in this photograph is the engine driver or fireman standing with his right arm outstretched as acknowledgement to the signalman's (hopefully green!) flag.

    For other examples of relevant GWR coaches in the Clerestory Group click here........, of which these (click here.......) are mapped with Flickr's new 2015 group mapping functionality, provided always the underlying Flickr mapping has taken place. .
