John Oram's photos with the keyword: Hayling Billy Trail

More than three years after my first photographs of the Hayling Billy Trail, confined to the Havant end of the erstwhile line, I was at Langstone to record the sad and possibly irreversible loss of the Railway Cottages as documented earlier in my photostream. In spite of having driven many times on Langstone Road, I had been unaware of the previous history of the fire damaged buildings and of this part of the former alignment. Now a pleasant walk, the path leads back towards Havant although the direction of this section is roughly easterly. 200_3_P1090068R

Today's series follows the Hayling Billy Trail, along the trackbed of the former Hayling to Havant branch, for the short distance between East Street, Havant and the crossing gates at New Lane. The trackbed/path can easily be accessed from the car park at The Spring and the pictures follow my progress generally north. As one approaches New Lane the trackbed starts to curve towards Havant station and land near the crossing is being developed by Bloor Homes as 'Cooper's Grange'. Beyond the crossing is the station car park, a predictable development of what was once all railway land. 200_2_P1020743
