Station Road Bridge

A view from the bottom of Station Road looking across the river, towards Hemyock Railway Station and part of the old Milk Factory. After this picture was taken, a small wooden bridge was installed (by the Milk Factory) to enable the public easier access accross the River Culm when it was flooded.

In March 2011, the ‘original’ wooden footbridge (which would have been on the right-hand side of the road in this picture) was removed following the opening of a new wooden footbridge on the opposite side of the road.

Why bother?

These archives are managed by the Hemyock History and Archiving Association (HH&AA). The organisation is an unincorporated charity and relies on volunteers, contributions and grants to continue its work.

By adding your comments, you are contributing in two ways.

  1. You are adding valuable reference material to a community run project, whichmight otherwise be lost or missed. This means that even the smallest detail of information will be captured for future generation. This is a massive project and many hands make light work.
  2. Your information will form part of the website. This means that search engines,such as Google, Bing and Yahoo! will be able to add this information to their search results. Your contribution might just mean a long lost relative being able to find their family history, from anywhere in the world.
