** 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 BFI for black and white archive film of trains running on the line.
Up until 1925 this was the Midhurst station for the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway (LB&SCR), but when that company merged with the LSWR to form Southern Railways the LSWR station was closed and The Middy terminated here.
There is little to see of the railway infrastructure now as it has all been cleared for the housing estate, though if you walk South down The Fairway past the flats you can still see part of a brick railway arch, which was the entrance to a tunnel where the LB&SCR went under the hill and roads above.
