Bidford on Avon: smjboa2b

Close up of image 'smjboa2' showing the grounded six-wheel coach body used as a passenger waiting room on Bidford on Avon station's platform. The only sign of luxury was the Nestle's chocolate machine which if the same as the one author once saw as a child in Wales in the 1950s dispensed a bar of chocolate for a cost one old penny (1D), less than than a half-penny in decimal currency. The posters are dated 1933 and advertise the Isle of Man and the Midland Hotel at Morecambe.
