Three Bridges

     
         
         
   
     

 

 

I know the footbridge (recently replaced) leads over to what is now the Business Park but
did the red bridge behind it once carry the railway rather than the present day road?

Graham Strachan in New Zealand writes....

"This is definitely the railway bridge, partly hidden behind the trees on the right in the distance you
can see the station buildings. Just off the left of the picture the railway track passed through the
"station gates", a level crossing beside the junction of Eskview Terrace and Campie Road and Eskside.
There was a signalbox and footbridge alongside.
The line closed to passengers in 1964 and to goods, I believe around 1970."

Thanks for the info Graham.
