While you wait patiently for me to get snapping again, I thought I'd share this wonderful link with you.
www.disused-stations.org.uk/g/gorey_pier/
Make your way from Gorey back to town, station by station, in a bygone age. It was a bit before my time... but sounds fascinating. I'd love to have a time machine to go back and take a look!
I hope that gives you something to study enjoyably :)
About Me
- crapaudmatic
- Jersey, Channel Islands, United Kingdom
- My pics? What can I say... but that there are two types of photographers : artists and recordists. I'm a recordist - for me it's a technical challenge to try to capture what the eye sees, rather than what the imagination sees. I'm no artist. My camera is good enough for the web, I'm not interested in spending a fortune on DSLR and lenses, mucking about in pic editors, filters and all that malarkey. I'm also driven to share, publish, and show things to people when they're interested in specific things - like island scenery. If I was into art, I'd despair at just how much there is out there already, and how difficult it would be to find an audience because no-one has time to wade through billions of pretty pictures. If you want to see what Jersey looks like, then hang around here and I'll do my best to show you. Thanks!

Being someone who likes Jersey and is fascinated by the route and buildings of old railways - please feel free to go on a few more walks of the rail routes :o)
My ex and I stayed at the Beausite Hotel a few years ago and that was right by the route. I'll reserve comment on what has been done to Corbierre station!
Thanks for commenting, I hope you enjoyed your visit enough to return soon!
