50035 Ark Royal passes Shipton in failing light on 19 April 1982 with the 1C62 18:00 Paddington to Hereford service. This photo is taken from the end of Shipton station's down platform, and is clearly not the most shadow free location at this time of day. Class 50s have long gone from the Cotswold Line, but F.W.P Mathews Ltd lives on, having been flour millers on this site since 1912.
