Dereliction of Felsted Station
This used to be Felsted railway station, although located in Little Dunmow. It stood on the line between Braintree and Bishop Stortford, which closed to passenger traffic in 1952.
The disused railway line is now a leisure trail called the Flitch Way.
A CCTV camera might be useful, as the site has become a fly tippers' paradise, with easy access from the road while offering suitable cover from prying eyes.

Bollards on the Flitch Way
The Flitch Way runs for 15 miles from Braintree station to Start Hill near Bishop's Stortford and is an important greenway and wildlife corridor. For most of the way it provides a safe traffic free environment for walkers, cyclists and horse riders and forms part of National Cycle Network Route 16. The name “Flitch Way” originated from the Flitch ceremony in Little Dunmow whereby couples who could prove that they had not argued in marriage after a year and a day would be awarded a flitch (side) of bacon. The Flitch Way follows the route of an old single track railway.

Footpath to Little Dunmow
The path skirts round The Moors to the left. In these parts such a name implies a pretty damp area. The mapped route of the public path actually passes through this, but there is no trace of anybody trying to follow the route. There is a fair bit of optimistic routing of public paths through marshes around here, fortunately most have reasonable ways round, as this.
