A screenshot of a section of Churchill’s Wikipedia, the following paragraph quoted “As a journalist for the Morning Post, Churchill anticipated the outbreak of the Second Boer War between Britain and the Boer republics, leading him to sail to South Africa. In October, he travelled to the conflict zone near Ladysmith, which was under siege by Boer troops, and then headed to Colenso. At the Battle of Chieveley, his train was derailed by Boer artillery shelling, and he was captured as a prisoner of war (POW) and interned in a POW camp in Pretoria. Churchill made a formal protest about his internment to the Transvaal Secretary of State, asserting his status as a non-combatant journalist, but he was told he had invalidated that by carrying a revolver. In December, Churchill escaped and evaded his captors by stowing aboard freight trains and hiding in a mine. He made it to safety in Portuguese East Africa. His escape attracted much publicity.”

Shot taken from a bridge across the line. A 4 platform station (central island abandoned, two side lines still operational) stretches out, a covered bridge at the far end. Power lines stretch at eye level, with a car park to the right, a tree lined bank on the other.
A parking alley between two modern houses, at the base of the slightly descending pathway, the raised bed of a rail line passes across the shot.
Through further bushes, water flows through a stone and concrete structure, topped by railings. Two buttresses head towards the camera. Atop the arrangement, the rail line crosses over on an embankment
A concrete path heads forward, with grass verges either side. On the right are a mixture of bare and evergreen bushes and trees
A pedestrian crossing leads to the building of Longbridge station, a squat boxy structure, with an architectural feature on top, a flat roof that ticks up to the left. The station features the classic British Rail double arrow in red, above the station name in silver.
