Though many in Rushden are mourning the possible loss of the local railway station museum, there must be few who miss this old railway bridge. It was so low that one private bus company had to let the tyres down on its double deckers for them to squeeze under.
This picture of the High Street in the snow was taken by Colin Bryant of Victoria Road, Rushden. In the background is the old Royal Variety Theatre.
A wide angle view of the Bridge, Queen Victoria Hotel, Railway Station and Ellis & Everard's yard at the north end of High Street. It was taken by Arthur George and he marked where he was going to trim it for a postcard.
Photos of the demolition of the old railway bridge were sent to us by email. The footbridge over the railway line was still standing.
Up - up - and away!
