presume this is an old railway line Report as Inappropriate	TomRobin	Monday 9th of June 2014 08:59:45 AM
I think that it was a chord line linking to another railway line which can be seen in some of the other photos. Report as Inappropriate	Class31	Monday 9th of June 2014 09:01:50 AM
Hi, yes correct, it used to be called "Fanton Curve", basically it was a triangle junction onto the main Liverpool Street to Southend line, all that remains to this day is the Southminster branch line going to Wickford station, there is a siding shown in the picture that I presume used a piece of the old track. There is no evidence from modern day aerial photos of the Fanton Curve as it is all built on now, I used to play on the old trackbed when I was a child.

A ground frame to operate the points to the private siding. Report as Inappropriate	Class31	Monday 9th of June 2014 07:57:36 AM
