Rail Bridge Gone

[Owd Bert]

This of course is looking towards the Station after the Rail Bridge was demolished -- and I wonder if anyone knows what was at position X.

 

[Mik Dickinson]

Somewhere along Lower Antleý Street????

Sorry Mik if you misunderstood the question about X. The location is the same as the other at the bottom of Ormerod St and is looking along Eagle St towards the Rail Station.
There used to be a little structure in the position marked X -- so, what was it ?

 

[Bagpuss]

Was it some sort of electric box, maybe for the traffic lights?

 

[Owd Bert]

Sorry Bagpuss, have another think or ask someone who used that route before the bridge was demolished.

 

[K.S.H]

was it some kind of toll booth?

 

[K.S.H]

os someone used to sell papers there?

 

[Caz]

Mens loo, possibly?

 

[mez]

an old fashioned electric box?

 

[Bagpuss]

I agree with KSH that it was a little hut where someone used to sell papers from.

 

[Tealeaf]

Gents Loo?

 

[Owd Bert]

It was a gents (and little lads) urinal. Me and mi` mates put many a chalk mark on the wall. If you don`t know what for -- don`t ask.
