Lingerwood Junction [2nd]
One of the few surviving relics of the Easthouses Tramway, looking south at the point where it passed below Lingerwood Road, just 50 yards beyond the level crossing carrying the mineral line 71581. This was my third visit to the site - the first time I missed it, the second time I managed to spot it through the vegetation but it was too overgrown to photograph. This time, thanks to the effects of winter defoliation and a pair of garden shears from the boot, I managed to get a picture. The old cutting was filled in long ago, with a ploughed field behind the camera and housing up ahead, including the land where Lingerwood Pit and its associated brickworks once stood. For a view of the bridge from the old trackbed see 72395.
