View from Binney Road
This is the view from Binney Road which leads from Allhallows to Binney Farm and Allhallows Marshes. There are a number of horse paddocks in this immediate area.
On either side of the corrugated iron shelter for horses can be seen the embankment of the former branch railway line from Stoke Junction to Allhallows-on-Sea station. The latter was roughly where the buildings in the distance can be seen. The railway was a very short-lived affair. It was opened on 16th May 1932 by the Southern Railway in an effort to develop a seaside resort at Allhallows on Sea. A station hotel was built but the rather bleak location could never compete with other resorts and although the branch was doubled in 1935, it always struggled. After the Second World War there was a steady decline in passengers and the line was singled again in 1957. It finally closed on 4th December 1961. See http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/a/allhallows_on_sea/ for a fuller history of the branch.

The silver-coloured water tower is a surviving relic of a railway station which previously occupied this site. The station opened in 1932 but was closed less than 30 years later.

A former horse buried near a former railway
The horse called Chilly Bridge died in 1998 and the railway, the former embankment of which is seen beyond, closed in 1961 after less than 30 years. For more information on both and a slightly different view go to http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4090989

A dead horse and a dead railway
This is the view from Binney Road which leads from Allhallows to Binney Farm and Allhallows Marshes. There are a number of horse paddocks in this immediate area. One of the horses was buried here. The inscription says "CHILLY BRIDGE C.B. 1.11.73 - 24.10.98" and the lying horse in stone is next to it.
The embankment behind is the remains of the former branch railway line from Stoke Junction to Allhallows-on-Sea station. The railway was a very short-lived affair. It was opened on 16th May 1932 by the Southern Railway in an effort to develop a seaside resort at Allhallows on Sea. A station hotel was built but the rather bleak location could never compete with other resorts and although the branch was doubled in 1935, it always struggled.

Track of old railway, Allhallows
Looking from the site of the Binney Road level crossing towards the terminus of the branch which only existed from 1932 to 1961. The houses are built on the track bed just before the line fanned for the terminus and its sidings.
