Skelly Bridge

Skelly Bridge
Bulleid pacific 34067 'Tangmere' heads the Great Britain XVIII tour up the Midland Railway Disley cutoff line on its way to Carlisle. The train is approaching the Hatherlow Lane footbridge in Hazel Grove. It was over sixty years ago that I used to spot trains from this bridge and it was a real bit of nostalgia to see steam again at this spot, even if it wasn't the ex LMS and LNER locomotives that we used to see. As kids we knew this location as 'Skelly Bridge'. There weren't any trees and it was double track back in the day.
