Another of the bridge series without a bridge!!
However, as the photograph shows, there most definately was one!!
This is a view looking from Newtownards, somewhere about the junction with Talbot Street, looking towards the Crawfordsburn Road. The line closed in 1950, presumably the bridges were demolished soon afterwards.
There is no trace of the bridge now, but GZ, I hope, is just about where the abutment on the far side of the bridge would have been.
The area looks a bit different these days!!
The Cache is a small Tablock box with a few swaps and room for small TBs
As usual, be carefull, especially with youngsters in tow, and you'll need to be inconspicuous, this is a busy junction!
I think I left a pencil, but you all carry writing implements with you....... Don't you??
