The Forgotten Bridge

In 1891, the Salvation Army established a Home Farm Colony in Hadleigh where the Hadleigh Downs Country Park lies today. The Salvation Army Jetty was used in the early 1900s to load off and on goods, mainly bricks, made at the Salvation Army brickworks located at the bottom of Chapel Lane. The bricks were then taken by train over to the jetty to be shipped by barge, at the lower seawall which also exists today still bearing an impressive anchor attached to the end. A narrow-gauge North-South railway crossed over the West-East transport railway which is the currently in-use today by C2C. This narrow railway would have crossed over the top of the general-use railway going in the opposite direction via a viaduct bridge. Although its top is now gone, the red brick viaduct survives with the two brick supports either side of the public railway line.

Nice feature and interesting background history. Thanks for the share.

Great photos!  Very picturesque place.  I especially like the focus in the first shot - for some reason I’m reminded of a really fancy miniature train set.
