Looped barbed wire lines the top bar of the entrance gate to a field on the west side of Beachley Road near the northern edge of Beachley. My first thought was that this was part of a farm, but a correspondent has since informed me that it was once the site of the railway line for the old Beachley shipyard and later the army camp. The building was formerly used for the line. Later, a riding school was based here.
