| There are traces of the tramway in the form
of small brick bridges (or their remains) over ditches and little-used gateways,
including those on opposite sides of the Faringdon to Lechlade road west
of Buscot village that mark the site of the level crossing. No rails have
been found in situ but they can be seen about the estate, serving as garden
edging and building reinforcements. Similar rails at the White Horse Foundry
may have also come from Buscot. The most obvious relic of the tramway is the cutting near Broadleaze Farm, about a quarter of a mile long, its depth exaggerated by the soil having been dumped on the top of the banks. The locomotives are thought to have been bought by Appleby Brothers and offered for sale in 1880 by a subsidiary. |
