Three Bridges - Horsham railway West of the Wimland Road level crossing. This is the site of Roffey Road Halt, 1907-1937, opened in anticipation of housing development that never happened. The short and long concrete blocks on the right are the remains of the up platform, there are also stumpier blocks for the down platform, not so evident in this view.
