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.

Bickerley railway bridge over The Millstream This is one of three bridges over branches of the River Avon at Ringwood. It carried the old Brockenhurst to Wimborne railway line over The Millstream. The bridges were rebuilt with concrete decks in the early 1960's just prior to the closure of the line. Originally the bridges were built to carry three railway tracks, two for the main line and one for the branch from Ringwood to Christchurch. The new bridges only carried two tracks, but nowadays carry the 'Castleman Way' footpath.

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.

Castleman Way The roundabout marks the junction of Castleman Way and Christchurch Road. Castleman Way is built on the trackbed of the old LSWR main line from Southampton to Dorchester ('Castleman's Corkscrew'). Castleman was a local solicitor who was prominent in the building of the Southampton and Dorchester Railway and later became Chairman of the London and South Western Railway. There was a level crossing here with a signal box on the right opposite the car. Long traffic delays used to result when there were shunting movements around Ringwood Station, which was behind the camera position.
