Dist:0.3km north<br/>This is North Fambridge Station on the Crouch Valley line. This railway enabled the Dengie Peninsula from Southminster to South Woodham Ferrers to develop into London commuter land. The only reason this single track line (double in the stations) was allowed to escape the Beeching axe was its role shipping plutonium to Aldermasteron and spent fuel rods to Sellafield from the [[35708]]. A fact the history of the line at http://www.esscrp.org.uk/crouch_valley_line/history/history.php seems to omit. Photo was taken looking eastbound.

Dist:0.7km west<br/>Holy Trinity nestles in the rural parish of North Fambridge, Essex, in the Dengie peninsula approximately 48 miles east of the centre of London. It is one of two parishes at Fambridge, South Fambridge being on the other side of the tidal River Crouch.

Dist:0.7km south<br/>The ferry itself ran its last in 1955, and the North Fambridge locals are in no hurry to see it return, not viewing as desirable extra traffic from the Southend area.

Dist:0.8km south<br/>These cottages stand almost opposite the Ferry Boat Inn, and in the best Essex tradition, are weatherboarded. Of whom Jeff is or was, I must admit my ignorance.

Dist:0.9km east<br/>This is the Crouch Valley Railway line. The shot was taken from Franklin Rd North Fambridge, looking eastbound. The 1:25,000 series map rather grandly refers to the little bridge the train is crossing as a “viaduct”. The train has just left [[128111]]
