See Image This is the same view 27 years before the previous one. There was no encroaching vegetation and the course of the line was still easy to see. In the mid-sixties, when our (relatively new) school rugby field was unplayable after heavy rain, this stretch of old line formed part of our cross-country run (sheer brutality). The old rugby ground, which was very close to here, was nicknamed “Mount Misery”.
