Station Road

1976-1979

Part 2 - Pine View Road to Romford

 

 

Taken just past Pine View Road showing Station Road where it swung round over the railway bridge.

Just past the phone box was a path that went down originally to the railway but latterly to the Albion Hotel.

11 April 1976      [O/11]

The Albion Hotel seen from Lessers car park.

There is a nice picture to compare on page 23 of Verwood Village days.

I have to admit that I have had a few pints in there over the years.

29 September 1976      [1/V/19]

Looking north from the railway bridge with the trackbed curving away to the right towards Alderholt.

The house is "Dorville" with Brickyard Lane running behind it.

The other side of the Albion Hotel.

Also in view is the former station masters house.

The yellow car is turning into the premises of Lesser Building Systems who occupied the old railway station yard.

Romford East Farm is the other side of the bridge. Up on the hill behind the electricity pylon is the telephone exchange next to Warwick's Lane.

Cattle in the field opposite Romford Mill Farm.

This became part of a protected area designated by English Nature in 1999.

Romford Bridge over the river Crane where the parish ends.

Romford Bridge viewed looking back from Romford East Farm.

Down to the right is where the carts would have gone as described on page 30 of Around Verwood.

A view of the back of the Romford East Farm.

The Albion Hotel and station masters house are visible in the distance on the left. This picture is more recent than others in this sequence which explains why the Albion Hotel looks different from the picture further up this page.

Romford East farmhouse.

This building may date back to Jacobean times.

See also the picture on page 30 of Around Verwood.
