Thanks to Peter, one of our regular readers who sent in an interesting old
photograph of the railway bridge in Risborough Lane, Cheriton.

"The staging on the right was a station known as Cheriton Halt.
"I'm not sure if they are pulling down the old round bridge for the squarer one, as there now, or repairing both" said Peter.
Editor's note: Please let us know if you can tell us

Dear Ed,
This photograph appears in a book entitled "South Coast Railways - Ashford to Dover (including Hythe and Sandgate Branch)" published by Middleton Press (ISBN 0-906520-48-7). In that book, the picture is attributed to "Lens of Sutton" (a well known resource of photographs of railways and things to do with railways).
The book informs the reader that the picture was taken in 1913.
Regards,
Lazarus
