Someone said there has been a Tornado at Wivenhoe on the 12/8/2017,
this one was called 60163. We will probably never see this site at
Wivenhoe on the main line again! Thanks to all the people who built the
TORNADO and all who organized this great dayJohn Stewarthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14527193948364815117noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6601466799143014909.post-52462616713020752762017-08-06T11:19:00.003-07:002017-08-06T11:23:11.277-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<u><b>PAGET HALT.</b></u><br />
<br />
During the lifetime of the Wivenhoe and Brightlingsea
railway company they used the main line track and Station at Wivenhoe.
This all belonged to the Great Eastern Railway who had their eye on the
W.A.B.R.C. which they wished to take over, so in the 1880's they
suddenly announced that the the trains of the Brightlingsea and Wivenhoe
railway could no longer use the great eastern tracks and station so
trains had to stop some 200 yards short of the Wivenhoe stati<span class="text_exposed_show">on
to which passengers had to walk if they wished to catch a connecting
train. Two temporary platforms were erected by the Paget Road crossing ,
one 110 feet long and the other 75 feet long. on the Paget Road side
there was also a new road built called New town Road ( Hamilton Road)
which was built at the junction with Brook Street to the new platform
to carry freight from Brightlingsea. This inconvenience was to much for
passengers and the freight business and the Wivenhoe and Brightlingsea
Railway sold out to the Great Eastern Railway Company in 1893 for the
grand sum of £31,000 . The old platforms eventually disappeared during
the start of the depression years when the locals used the timber on the
platforms for firewood.</span>John Stewarthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14527193948364815117noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6601466799143014909.post-31429657545391601002017-05-05T04:12:00.001-07:002017-05-05T04:12:46.978-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
