SITE OF THE DYKE RAILWAY

Many years ago, when the railway was in operation, it crossed West Way – right – then a farm track, by a high bridge and embankment. (see large photograph on a previous page). The bridge went during the 1939-1945 War, and in succeeding years the chalk embankment was gradually removed. Flats for the elderly have now been built on this cleared site. Date of the photograph – October 7 1962. 200 yards to the north, the railway entered a cutting, which passed under a narrow farm accommodation bridge (now Northease Drive – see next photograph). Photographs of this bridge appear on other pages. For years afterwards the cutting was used as a tip until it was filled up. Council flats are now to be built here.
