Summary
| Description |
English: Fragment of narrow gauge railway line The rail was used for moving munitions from the factory down to the river Ouse (behind photographer).
The line ran through a now-blocked gateway in the wall. A nearby noticeboard explains: Military stores were unloaded at an Ordnance Wharf, built in 1888, and taken to the army depot in Hospital Fields Road on a narrow gauge railway, a small section of which is still visible at the southern end of New Walk. Explosives were brought in the schooner ‘Princess’ known locally as the ‘Powder boat’.(1) |
