Oh is that what the slab of concrete is?  I thought it was a BT router!  Lift up thine eyes and behold a nicely executed four course quarter circle arch with string course above at rail level topped with a stone parapet and flanked with pilasters, stepped in at the string course and topped with a raised parapet.
And if that's not making a silk purse out of a sow's ear, I don't know what is!

Odd.  I get a nice brick bridge under the railway line, opposite 17 Wickham Close.

Followed MartinR's google link and a lovely picture of a Southern Water Sewage Pumping Station comes up.

Thank you JohnFilmer.  After quite a search that section seemed to be the only place where rail and road ran parallel East West.

I must admit that I quite like your old map searches. 




Next one ...  shouldn't prove too difficult - coming up soon.

I had a strange experience when I put my cursor on NORTH DOWN - in your article John Walker.
When it came on - I looked at it - & my head went swimming - I could not focus - I had to come
away from my computer - leaving it on. I was a bad expirience.


Sorry to hear that Castle261.  It normally just takes you to a Wikipedia page about the North Downs.  Hope you are ok now.
