I hadn't spotted the railway in this picture but it's definitely there.

I think that this could be the Chinnor Cement Works with the Chilterns beyond.

Could also be Pitstone Cement Works. I could also be wrong!

I think this is the 'Old Works' on the Bicester Rd leaving Aylesbury; now under Tesco's carpark.

I agree with nkingdon's location of Quainton Hill. The local field boundaries fit and the covered reservoir is there.

The triangulation point for Quainton Hill is actually on the covered reservoir, see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3573415
