The River Loddon passing through where the Upper Mill once was, looking towards Slaughter Close and the village of Old Basing beyond.

The lovely names go on, the stream is just below The Wellocks.

The End Of The Line.

Near to Deep Lane Barn, the old swimming baths, in the area now known as Houndmills, the Basingstoke to Alton line ends. It does appear to be connected to the main line near Basingstoke Station, but it doesn't look like it's been used for many years.

The railway had a short but interesting life, being laid down in 1901, then taken up and shipped to France and Belgium (1917) to supply the front in WW1. Then taken up again to be relaid (1924) in Hampshire once more. Being finally lifted in part in 1932/36.

I think this section would have been used for local shunting and goods to factories near by until 1967.

It was used in the 20s and 30s in three films, one of which (The Wrecker) had a scene filmed by 22 cameras and was described as the most spectacular rail crash in cinema history.

Other remains of the route can been seen South of here in the road layouts that follow the old line, hedgerows and tree lines all the way down to Alton.

Fenceline

I was concerned about the fringing around the hedge shadows until I realised it was frost that was protected from the rising sun.
