Viewed from Image and as such one not possible until the latter was opened in the autumn of 2014. Built at the time of the line's construction to carry Rocky Lane over the railway it has now been made redundant. Its closeness to the former St Francis Hospital meant for many decades it was a popular suicide spot resulting in the parapet being raised initially by extra layers of brickwork and later on by high fencing which has since been removed. The road sign next to the now truncated section of Rocky Lane says there is access to Bolnore's lower village but there was none on this day though I believe this will be the case in the future. Just visible in the distance beyond the Thameslink train heading south to Brighton is Ashenground Bridge.
