Some excellent information re Midford from Nick Howes.
Have discovered, from photos and stay
anchor measurements that the 206 linear yard distance of the upper inner home
bracket and consequent 5 push dummy in the 6 foot way is the c. pre 1933
measurement. Sometime in the 30s or 40s the upper inner home was moved some 20
yards south.
5 pull, wrong road arm on the platform is
actually 47 linear yards from the box not 35.
49’3” 8 arch viaduct spans are the 1873
measurement. Encased in brick on doubling, reduced the spans to 48’10”, not
corrected on the civil engineers returns.
Distance of wrong road arm/down home on
long arch bridge is correct if you take the rodding run measurement, not the
linear point to point measurement along the track as it snakes up the cutting
face and over the top of the long arch bridge at 90
degrees.
concrete wall between the signalbox and
station building is not original and about 5 feet further north than it used to
be.
