That's pretty conclusive again - many thanks. And for date? Is there general agreement on the car and therefore my guess on the date? Unfortunately the advertising hoarding can't be read, as that could give a half way decent clue. Really good stuff to locate it so quickly, though.
Adrian - I wonder if this is the photo you've seen already.
This went to one of the LNER sites some time ago, and these are the responses:
"Comments from LNER Study Group Journal Summer 2011:From Tom Scrimgeour:In the case of the second photograph (above right), I cannot identify the location but noting that the viaduct is crossing a tidal estuary / river and that the cottage (toll house?) architecture looks Scottish style. I have looked at various OS maps of coastal lines in Scotland without success.
Mike Bootman adds:
Brian Dale has been very generous in sharing his photos and one of his hopes by so doing was to identify locations and the subject matter.
I was looking at the second photo earlier today and had come to the same conclusion as you in that the bridge crosses a tidal estuary and, assuming that it is on the east side of the country, the photo was taken quite early in the morning - look at the long shadows to the left of railway bridge. It's interesting to note the difference in height between the railway and the road, and the fact that the road bridge might only have one small span across the estuary - quite a restriction as far as water flow is concerned - and suggests that the coastline is relatively high at this point.
An 'overflight' using one of the internet mapping sites is probably called for."
We never got any further with this one.
Looking at this photo again I notice a few photographers alongside the road which suggests this might be a special, and even quite late on in the time of steam if an A1 or A2 attracts photographers to the East Coast which must have seen plenty of these in the past. There's also that car - it looks to me like a 1940s/50s Princess, or even a Daimler, but in the mid 60s that would have been an anachronism even then.
