Watford: Ebury Way
Image: © Nigel Cox Taken: 11 Oct 2005
Ebury Way viewed looking west from the bridge over the River Colne. Ebury Way follows the trackbed of the long dismantled railway line from Watford to Rickmansworth. Opened in 1862, it was shortly afterwards taken over by the London & North Western Railway, but was an early victim of the post-war Nationalization of the railways, closing to passenger traffic in 1952. Now a popular route for cyclists, the double notice boards at the end of the bridge optimistically instruct them to dismount when crossing the bridge!
