... with neat dressed masonry and graceful curving wing walls. For a simple occupation bridge. There were thousands of similar bridges all over the country -- but if a single one was built like this today it would almost certainly qualify for an architectural award, media coverage, and an opening ceremony. Passenger services on this line had ceased within 2 years, and the track was lifted in 1981. The bridge is still there, unloved and uncared for, damaged by vandals, lost among the bushes and serving no practical purpose: 2_031605_110000000.jpg I took this photo last week. Those who sweated and toiled to build it would be sad to see it looking like this, although maybe pleased that it is at least still standing. And I was sad, because I do remember taking the first picture, on a lovely summer's day 47 years ago.
