Ropley Railway Station (back view), Mid Hants Railway The glamorous side of any preserved railway station is invariably the front, where all the action is. So few people bother to photograph the rear. To remedy this, here is a photograph taken of the back of this rural station, and no it's not particularly attractive.

Plotland home Plotlands started appearing from about 1890 onwards, on the coast, on riversides or, as here, tucked away in remote corners of the countryside. Originally they were cheap holiday homes, often no more than shacks, for a newly enfranchised working class who took advantage of plummetting land values during agricultural depression, to buy their own little plot of England. The planners hated them as they were almost anarchic in the way they would pop up in unexpected places, away from the regular settlements. Because they were built on relatively large plots of land, many have been swept away and replaced by much larger, more conventionally constructed homes, but if you can read between the lines on the map, you can still find little gems such as this surviving in pockets of the countryside. I love 'em!
