South Acton: Bollo Lane and the former Acton Loop Line bridge

The brick bridge abutment on the left side of Bollo Lane here is virtually all that remains of the railway that once linked Acton Town and South Acton stations. Passenger services operated from 1905 to 1959, latterly with an unusual single coach shuttle service. During the dismantling of the bridge it apparently collapsed into Bollo Lane and had to be broken up on the spot.
