Bridge over former railway, Cold Norton
The line was the Woodham Ferrers - Maldon link, which never did very well. Opened in 1889, it closed to passengers during WWII and to freight in 1953. The cutting under the bridge is largely filled in. This bridge is still stencilled with railway reference number WFM-839, which seems a very high number for a short line - about 8 miles.

The village sign in Cold Norton
Came across this while out geocaching on the Dengie. There's a geocache nearby, in case anyone's into that.

'The Norton', Cold Norton
The only pub I know of with a name that celebrates an old 'British bike'. Maybe somewhere there's a 'Matchless', or an 'Ariel Square Four', or a 'Black Shadow'.
But - to return to the photograph: beyond the pub the road narrows - crossing a bridge over an old railway cutting. The railway has long since gone, closed even before the Beeching era. I suppose the village chose to keep the narrow bridge to slow down the traffic.

Pub sign: 'The Norton', Cold Norton
Good to see a pub that commemorates an old British motor-bike. My Dad would have chuckled, though the bike he kept in the garage into his old age was a Royal Enfield.

Forget me nots on the Forgotten railway
The permanent way does not look so permanent now. The Maldon to Woodham Ferrers line finally closed to goods traffic in 1953.
