Our son George was working as a volunteer at the Buddhist
Centre for World Peace and Health on Holy Isle which is a small island off Arran, a larger island in the Firth of Clyde. We went to visit him there.
Euston to Glasgow
The white gable-end about a third of the way in from the left is 66 Sedbergh Road, Kendal and in it is the window of the bedroom that Roger had as a child. I remember watching heavy goods trains hauled by two steam locomotives with a third, "banking engine" pushing at the rear. The banking engine would then come back light to Oxenholme where it was stationed.
This was taken on the return journey. I thought I might have better luck because the train was slowing (a bit) to stop at Oxenholme. I think I have managed to get No. 66 exactly behind the tree on the left.
These two were taken on a later visit to Kendal by road
