66566 speeds past Hinksey on 28 October 2011 with the 4O27 05:40 Garston to Southampton freightliner. Apart from the benefit of some autumn colours, this location at the north end of Hinksey Yard has deteriorated considerably in recent years. It used to be completely open, allowing pictures to be taken from a much wider angle without encroaching shadows even in winter. The trees are also hiding a view of Oxford, albeit the rather less salubrious area away from the famous colleges. |
