More about this scene
The name of the bridge reflects the local trade which once existed in the area and, as in 60080 (page 84), the level nature of the towpath was an attraction for walkers 100 years ago, as it was for cyclists. This part of the canal is also popular with anglers.

I wasn't always very eager and the services sometimes droned on, but I always felt uplifted walking home after the service. I was confirmed at this church and married here as well. It always had a welcoming atmosphere and as I remember a large congregation frequented the church regularly. Happy days!!
My father was in the army and was stationed in Haig Lines in 1958. I went to the Gally Hill Junior CofE School which you can just see of the right of this picture. I was 9years old when we moved here and remember the long walk to and front school every day. Along Sandy Lane, crossing over Aldershot Road by the Memorial Hall, round the corner into Gally Hill Road and past The Wyvern pub. Going ...see more
