Description
Trains used to run along here until the 1960's. It is now a cycle and walkway between Chard and Ilminster in Somerset UK.
You can see in the background, a line of massive concrete blocks which were part of a very long line stretched across the South West of England to stop the German tanks should they have invaded our country.
The lady in the pic is my wife Julie to whom I have been married for 50 years yesterday (Saturday).
The pic (not Julie) is very zoomable.

This is a wonderful shot, Jeff. It's nice to see they did something aesthetic with the old rail path. Great looking wall too! Congratulations to you and Julie. You both deserve something special for hanging in there together so long :)

Best wishes on your anniversary! She's a lovely lady, and a perfect focus for this wonderful capture!
Wonderful image, looks like some nice weather for you. Congrats on 50 years!
Well, that is such a nice image but far overpowered by your news of your 50th anniversary! Best wishes and many more!
nice shot congratulations
Congratulations to you both on your Golden wedding anniversary!!! A topical picture too since I see Beeching is in the news again this morning. Very nice shot Jeff!!
Nice capture here Jay.
Superb capture my friend. God Bless.
Very beautiful place to walk, superb shot!
Superb pic Jeff, Julie looks well. Congratulations for last Sat,
Really funny to see that. Bravo.
Excellent photo and Congratulations to both of you :-))
Wonderful photo Jeff and I did not realize that the British had built anti-tank barriers. It certainly made sense but I guess that I had not thought about it before. I have to admit that I zoomed to get a better look at your lovely wife.
All Dr Beeching's fault!
I think, I would have preferred to see the old trains running here, but on the other hand, you stay fit while walking everywhere; interesting historical fact on those concrete bollards ... A milestone for both of you, how wonderful! CONGRATULATIONS my friend, BB
At least you still have the station... Stamford used to have two stations! Now only one.. It used to have another line that's gone as well... Shame... Well taken shot though.. Station looks good! Rob
