A fascinating series and nice information Keith, puts paid to navigation though this stretch of water I assume,
The images have some interesting detail with the main image from a superb perspective! and lovely colours!

Thanks very much for these kind comments Roger.........I'm pleased you enjoyed both the photos and the narrative. I remember playing on the bridge when I was very young - we didn't even consider how dangerous it could have been..!!

It doesn't show from this perspective, but the gaps between the concrete slabs and big enough to allow most sailing boats through!

Da hast du auch gleich tolle Aufnahmen gemacht von dieser alten Eisenbahnbrücke,das schaut auch richtig stark aus und du hast sie in deinen Hauptbild ganz toll ins Bild gebracht,als ob man drüber gehen könnte,deine Eindrücke hast du wunderbar gezeigt lieber Keith :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Abend,liebe Grüße Güni :))

Thanks very much Güni...........I'm pleased you enjoyed this little series.

You wouldn't be able to walk on it.......the perspective doesn't show it, but the gaps between the concrete slabs are quite large! You could walk across the whole space at low tide though!

Have a lovely evening.......best wishes, Keith.

Is it possible to walk over or is it too dangerous?

No, it's not possible.........the gaps between the concrete slabs are big enough to allow the sailing boats to pass through, although you can't tell that from this perspective!

Wonderful shot.

Thank you Don.........much appreciated.

Wonderful views of this industrial masterpiece no obstacle was to great for these railway pioneers and we threw it away chasing bigger and better traffic jams sadly we will never have a good rail system again HS2 has proved that

Glad you like this little series Peter........and thanks for dropping in and leaving comments.

It was a great mistake not to repair and strengthen the railway bridge. Nowadays, to get from Langstone to Hayling you either have to have a boat or to use the road bridge, which gets very during the morning and evening commuter times..........and even busier in good weather, especially the weekends and holidays. It's not unusual to see tailbacks of over a mile in each direction..!!

On the plus side.........the route of the old railway line is now a splendid footpath (accessible to most)..!!

Outstanding shots!

Thanks very much William.........glad you like 'em.

Superbes prises de vue et infos. Les couleurs sont épatantes***

Thank you so much Jean-louis........glad you like this little series.

The relics make for glorious photos, a green curve in the water! A pity it was to expensive to maintain, a train to the island would be an attraction.
