As the weak evening sunshine fades away into thin cloud on 6 July 1984, 50015 Valiant pulls away from Kingham station with the 18:07 Paddington to Hereford service. This scene has changed considerably since this picture was taken. The trees on the left have grown considerably, completely obscuring the Langston Hotel seen in the background. This was originally built as a hunting lodge in the 1870s, before becoming a hotel with direct footbridge access to the station. Shortly after this photo was taken it became a nursing home.
