They had to wait until the millenium! There is another article in 1883 about a meeting in Skerton to raise the money in which they were never succesful. They approached Lord Ashton who suggested tackling the Lancaster City Council but they wouldn't touch it - after all Skerton was not part of Lancaster in those days. I have an Aerofilm 1933 aerial view of most of the Green Ayre station site, showing the sidings and Greyhound Bridge plus the branch leading off to Castle station. As it is copyright, I will not put it up on this site (I had to pay for it) but if you would email me... Tim.

I was searching the Lancaster Gazette archives yesterday and found a specification for the Greyhound Bridge - the 1911 one - and am attaching it as it may be of interest. Best wishes, Tim Churchill
