** The Middy ***
The Petersfield to Midhurst railway - A.K.A. "The Middy" was built by the London & South Western Railway (LSWR) and had intermediate stations "Rogate & Harting", which was actually at the village of Nyewood, and Elsted which was actually at Elsted Marsh. The line opened on 1st September 1864 and closed on 5th February 1955 and most of the line and associated infrastructure was removed soon afterwards.
There are still some remains along the route and this small series of caches has been placed at or close to some of those points of interest.
See the BFI for black and white archive film of trains running on the line.
If you had stood here during the time of The Middy you may well have had a face full of steam, smoke and cinders as trains pulled out of the station beneath tou, if you look over the parapet nowe you can clearly see the track bed of The Middy, Rogate and Harting station was a little further along the line, if you walk a few hundred metres down the road immediately South of the bridge the remains of the station has been incorporated into some of the offices in the small industrial estate.
*** The Cache ***
This is a straightforward Trad, you are looking for a Petling/Pregform.
It's possible to park adjacent to the cache.
