View from Charles Copse over Crow The house in the centre of the picture is the photographer's boyhood home, in Barrack Lane.  The bushes in the left centre are where the railway line from Brockenhurst to Ringwood passed.  Behind the trees in the centre is the site of No. 14 Crossing, the keeper's cottage now a pleasant bungalow.

Old railway line Walking along the old 'Castleman's Corkscrew' railway line between level crossing No's 15 and 16.  This used to be the main line between Southampton and Weymouth before the Brockenhurst to Bournemouth diversion was built.  It became a backwater and was closed and dismantled in 1964.
