Hinksey North water point

[Engager]

Hi there.

I'm new to the Oxford area and need to find the best sites to take photos etc of trains.

I'm especially interested to know exactly where steam locos stop for water at Hinksey in Oxford. Is it possible to park the car nearby? All help And directions appreciated.

Thanks

It's just South of the station; about here:

I don't think there's anywhere nearby that you'll find it easy to get a particularly good shot from, though. For that you're probably better off when it's moving, from a bridge further North or South or on the station platform.


Thanks
