The New Back Road

2008 sees the back road being brought into use after untold number of years planning it! This winter has seen non-stop activity getting the finishing touches, so come along and see for yourself. An opening ceremony will be held and full use is expected by the summer.
Before it all started the area was used only on event days for vehicle displays as here some years ago.

The top surface has been laid and it looks ready for a bus or two to complete the scene. The new signal box stands proudly alongside the railway which now runs just behind the embankment.
