Milford Junction to Church Fenton
1st August 2006

The area around Milford Junction has always been one of my happy hunting grounds. Extremely busy with coal and other traffic it used to satisfy all my gricing criteria - especially when there was lots of "Grid" action!

I still visit the area quite a lot, but here are the results from when it really was my second home!
