Note the clean ballast of the railway track. This was part of a major work undertaken by the GWR to quadruple [have four running lines] the line between Cogload Junction, where the London Line met the Bristol Line, east of Taunton and Norton Fitwarren to the west. This work was completed on 14th February 1932. Considering the trees still look rather bare, the cleaness of the ballast and lots of railway sleepers still lying at the side of the track I would think this photo was taken shortly after that date rather than the one given (May). |
