Ickenham and Ravenglass – August 1962
One photograph of the GWR line from Birmingham to Paddington, taken on a visit to my aunt, uncle and cousin’s house in Ickenham, and then in late August a few photos taken around Ravenglass on a two week walking trip around the Lake District, before I left London for Leicester University.
