Roygraham Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Bridge 18 has featured prominently recently so here it is in 1969. roygraham 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

'CHARD Posted November 24, 2011 Author Share Posted November 24, 2011 Whilst looking on RCAHMS for pictures of the A68 overbridge near Leaderfoot I found this gem instead, hidden in plain view a few yards north of the parallel A6091 near Back Road, with pedestrian only Hasseldean Road serving time as a footpath. http://canmoremapping.rcahms.gov.uk/index.php?action=do_details&cache_name=c2l0ZW5hbWUsd2F2ZXJsZXkgbGluZSBicmlkZ2UgbmV3c3RlYWRfc29ydHR5cCxzZWFyY2hSZWxldmVuY2Vfc29ydG9yZCxkZXNjX3NlYXJjaHR5cGUsc2ltcGxl&set=0&list_z=0&numlink=284046 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
37175 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Not sure if it's the underbridge as in a recent WRHA Mystery Location? It's off the site now, along with the comments/answers, but looks like it could be the one as it's at Newstead (although there is a subway at each side of Newstead!) Other Mystery Locations appear here as a teaser from time to time: http://waverleyrouteha.wordpress.com/mystery-locations-2/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fegguk Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Judging by the skew arches Riddings SEE http://www.forgottenrelics.co.uk/bridges/gallery/riddings.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Max Stafford Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 (edited) Another possibility is the Liddel crossing just south of The Holm. Length would be about right although the height has me uncertain. Riddings is taller and longer and the parapet on the example above looks like it's had some addition in concrete. Dave.

Guest Max Stafford Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 In that case, my eyes are turning towards the central part of the route, south of Gala, but north of Hawick. Assuming of course that the bridge is on the mainline and not on a branch. Dave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Max Stafford Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 That concrete parapet is interesting, I'm going to have to scan my books for a glimpse I think! Incidentally, are there any good photos of the 'Holm viaduct? The only one I've seen is in the Bradford-Barton book with 60507 crossing in 1958. Dave.

Roygraham Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Hi Dave, As I said not often photographed. Hermitage Viaduct at present I can only put my hands on one taken along the top. roygraham Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roygraham Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Hi Dave, I've found an old picture of Hermitage Viaduct, if you can let me have an e-address I'll send it to you. roygraham Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Max Stafford Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Thanks Roy. PM coming. My last throw of the dice on this one. I'm not sure about the skew on the piers which appears to rule out Stobs. Is it Lynwood? I'm pretty sure that particular viaduct curves a little. Dave.

Guest Max Stafford Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Cheers Roy. I didn't realise there was a viaduct around Belses, but I suppose my guess of the central section wasn't too bad! PM = Personal Message; check your in-box! Dave.

37175 Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Scroll right up to the top of the page, there's a black line across the page ... on the right(ish) there should be a little envelope sign. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

37175 Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Not sure what you're looking at Roy, you should have "Messenger" (a little envelope), "Notifications" (little square with a man inside), Your profile (it should say "Roygraham" and have a down arrow on the right), then "Sign Out". You can also find your personal messenger by clicking the arrow that's next to your profile name and selecting it from the menu. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

'CHARD Posted November 26, 2011 Author Share Posted November 26, 2011 Not often photographed but worth a pic. roygraham Not been able to get on line all day, and I just reached this beauty! If not often photographed means what I think it might, this is indeed a most-wanted of mine. Can't remember the name just now, but is it near Belses farm and that creamery siding? I've seen that on Google Earth, from memory it's a leftward curve running towards Edinburgh. Any more of that, Roy? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
