Bures station, Bures Hamlet, Essex
Bures, the main village and named Bures St Mary in full, is on the other side of the Stour, and thus in Suffolk. But the station is a few hundred yards on the other side of the river in Bures Hamlet, and thus in Essex. There is also Mount Bures for the outer suburbs. All in all, a lovely village.
The station is one of two stops between Sudbury and Marks Tey on the branch line which leads down to the main line running from Norwich and Ipswich towards London. The other is the atmospheric Chappel And Wakes Colne station.
Before 1967, this was the Colchester to Cambridge line, with a junction at Long Melford that would take you on to Thetford, Swaffham and Fakenham. Dual, in those days of course. All gone now.

Sir William Wright, the founder of the company that carries his name, passed away in July 2022 year at the age of 94.
From small beginnings in Ballymena, Northern Ireland, he built a multi million pound company with worldwide connections.
This blog (2 of 2) is my small tribute to the man and to all that he achieved.
He certainly had the ‘Wright’ stuff.
New to ‘Minsterly Motors’, Stiperstones, Shropshire.
I’ve finished applying the conductive tape & electrical wires to these crossovers. I left a gap in the middle to allow for current isolation between the two lines.
I’m contemplating on doing another pair of singles w/o isolation, or at least one double crossover.
Another simple cover which turned out somehow weird but I still like it though...
Not my best :)

Cherry picture under the heavy cloud. I expected today to take photo of this lovely cherry Yohkoh, but it was clouday. So I played on some alternatives.
Yohkoh, 陽光, "Sun Light" is fairly new form, created about 50 years ago. The man who created this form had been a teacher. After the world war ll, he deadly regretted that he had promoted war and encouraged his students to engage in the war, and many of them killed in the war.
Then he determined to work for peace, and through Sakura, he planned to promote peace in the world. After years of trial, he finally created this lovely form.
The gorgeous red, pink color is from 寒緋桜, Kanhizakura, subtropical cherry from Taiwan, which also gives it to endure high temperature so that is can be sent and planted in hot places in the world.
Another parent is Amagi-yoshino, 天城吉野, the hybrid of Edohigan,江戸彼岸 and 大島桜, Oshima-zakura, the same as most popular Somei-yoshino, 染井吉野、but mother and father is changed each other.
So this Yohkoh's Latin name is, in formulation, Prunus ×yedoensis cv. Amagi-yoshino×P.campanulata, but too much tedious, so another way is, in most dirty, Prunus "Youkou", (^.^;;, ... descent would be, Prunus Xcampanulata 'Youkou' .
As most popularly planted and loved 染井吉野 has been recently found that its life expectancy is as long as only 60 years, perhaps because of its instability in genes as hybrid, new and replanting has been being changed to another forms. Yohkoh is one of them,
