Winestead Crossing

Had I been stood on the same spot sixty years ago I could have been run down by a train.

The gate is the only remaining one of four that were part of a railroad crossing.

Winestead station was only open up to 1904. Patrington station is not that far away.

 

This image was taken with the 56/2 Box Tengor hand-held while I was stood atop a loose pile of old road chippings.

Accordingly, definition has suffered. The shutter speed being only 1/30th sec camera-shake is inevitable. With support the Tengor is capable of far better. The shot of the P1 powerboats taken earlier the same day shows the difference a firm support makes.
