Maud Heath's Causeway Under Brunel's Railway

The Girl Who Fell Out

27 May 2024 5 4 106
Now it came to pass that I walked from the elevated section of Maud Heath's causeway at Kellaways towards Langley Burrell. And as I approached Brunel's twin-arched bridge under his railway I espied a vacant sun dress upon the stonework leading to the bridge. Of the occupant there was no sign. She appeared to have wriggled free or simply fallen out. I checked inside to be sure. I learned only that her name was 'Primark'. I left the dress where it was in case she was hiding in the undergrowth. However, the possibility that the sundress had been thrown from the window of a passing train overhead could not be excluded. All this is perfectly true.

As the railway nears Chippenham the land rises a little and here at Kellaways are the last of the embankments before the contours change. There are two bridges: this is the northern one on the road from Maud Heath's monument at Kellaways to Sutton Benger via Sutton Lane. The flat land does not, however, persist for long, for just beyond Chippenham station are the Western Arches where the railway is once again elevated to keep it nice and even. The railway is very close to the river Avon at this point, much as it is at Christian Malford where the bridge building was a big undertaking. Nikon D2Xs + Nikkor DX AF-S 35mm f/1.8G lens.

Swindon, Wiltshire. Brunel's railway works is now a designer outlet. That tells you what has happened to Britain.
