AUSTRALIA FARM CROSSING

Not the best location in the world in my view. This is a farm crossing located about 200 yards east of Three Horseshoes AHB No.1, the most easterly of Three Horseshoes' 4 level crossings! You can't miss it - the house at the head of the track has an aircraft propeller on its end wall! (Who says we aren't all mad in the Fens? There isn't even a place called Three Horseshoes but it had a station!)
