The Mound
The picnic area alongside the A9 on the south side of the River Fleet in 2007. The main road continues north on the right, while ahead is Telford's original bridge fitted with sluice gates to prevent seawater from flowing upstream. The keeper's cottage stands beyond. Behind the camera is the embankment known as The Mound, constructed in 1816 to carry the road north, with the railway added in 1902. The line turned north west away from the road here, crossing the river (visible lower left) to reach The Mound station, the roof of which can be seen through the trees. See image 9211
