Ruislip depot? I haven't been there is years but there's something about that corrugated wall.
I haven't ever been to Oz and I don't recognise the rock so just for the hell of it let's plump for Ayer's Rock.

Don't know about the rock, but I reckon the big metal thing is the new shed at Upminster depot.

I first worked at Upminster in 1977 and I last worked there in 1987 and the nearest I've been since was 1991 when i last worked at Barking!  Whilst I'm on a real loser is it possible that the rock is someone's idea of modern art? It's similar but larger than the piece in the Tony Handcock film made some 40+ years ago where he plays an artist! |

The rock is absolutely natural - look at the graduations of shade on the surface. Having said that and damned artificial reconstituted rock I am utterly clueless - Derbyshire/Peak District or L&MVLR [1] territory? [1] Leek and Manifold Valley Light Railway. Kitsons Oooh. Kitsons Oooh, suits you sir. |

SolidBond was first in with the correct location, Upminster Depot - 49 road, facing west. (This was taken by TBMA) The background was rather tricky, Rock formation at El Torcal de Antequera nature reserve, Spain. Here follows the original pictures;  *Click for larger version*  *Click for larger version* |
