Crow Arch This bridge, known as 'Crow Arch' on the old LSWR 'Castleman's Corkscrew' line near Ringwood is approached by a steeply sloping road on either side - not for the faint-hearted when riding a bike!  Immediately past the bridge, the railway entered Ringwood Goods Yard before reaching the station.

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 bridge at Bagnum The abutments of the old railway underbridge at Bagnum still exist but the steel deck was removed when the track was dismantled in the 1960's.  Charles Lane passes through on its way to Charles Farm at the top of the hill and onwards towards Burley.
