River Bulbourne at Boxmoor, Hemel Hempstead.
River Bulbourne at Boxmoor, Hemel Hempstead.

Looking southeast, looking onto the site of the Nickey Line's underline bridge over the river. The surviving railway embankment on the right background is going off to London Rd and then onto a connection - only for a few years - with 'Hemel Hempstead And Boxmoor' station.

The bridge over the river here and the embankment that used to be to the left of my image appear in 'Branch Line to Hemel Hempstead The Nickey Line' by Sue and Geoff Woodward / Middleton Press. Examination of illustration 113 (shown below also) and the map overleaf, shows the bridge retaining wall raked back on left, less so on right, and a curve of the track to the left. Also a second bridge parapet in the background. These details match a view looking north standing on the opposite bank of the River Bulbourne on the now-surviving embankment showing in my picture above (slightly cut back now). The embankment shown in the image below from the river to the canal, and also the next one north from the canal to Heath Park Halt, have both been removed.
