Route
Bidford on Avon: smjboa2b
Close up of image 'smjboa2' showing the grounded six-wheel
coach body used as a passenger waiting room on Bidford on Avon station's
platform. The only sign of luxury was the Nestle's chocolate machine which if
the same as the one author once saw as a child in Wales in the 1950s dispensed
a bar of chocolate for a cost one old penny (1D), less than than a half-penny
in decimal currency. The posters are dated 1933 and advertise the Isle of Man
and the Midland Hotel at Morecambe.
