A photograph of two parts
It must've been a week's holiday. I kicked off on Sunday night by sleeper, on my first ever visit to Scotland, returning by ordinary train the next day. Then it was Wakefield and Leeds on the Tuesday, followed by York and Newcastle on Wednesday. Thursday was Birmingham and Leicester, returning to Bristol via London. I was back in London for the day on Friday and wound down with comparatively low mileage on Saturday by going to Southampton and Salisbury. The long distances utilising all seven days, and the return via London on Thursday make me think I must have had a seven-day All-Line Railrover. This was on the Friday trip to London, October 22nd 1976. I ranged widely, from Hounslow to Archway. My Railrover conjecture is supported by the fact that I went to Hounslow by Southern Region from Victoria to Isleworth, returning to Waterloo. Without a Railrover I would have used the Underground. This was taken in Buckingham Palace Road, with Victoria station off right, so I must have been on my way to Isleworth.
This is quite a severe crop, which has produced a pleasing graininess. I quite like the "diptych" effect of the composition, which I'm sure I never planned. If I bring off a photographic success it is usually by accident.
