An impressive footbridge has to cross a double line and a single line separated by a wide area of grass in between. This is the line between Shenfield and Billericay which was opened to passenger services on 1st January 1889 and continued on to Southend Victoria on 1st October of the same year. It diverges from the main line of 1843 to Chelmsford and Colchester about a quarter of a mile back towards Shenfield.
On the other side of the footbridge the path passes alongside Arnold's Wood on its way to Lower Road and Mountnessing.
Discussion on TQ6296 - Hotel at Mountnessing Roundabout?
Hi,
The sign says that there is a Hotel, but there is nothing on the site. Was there once a hotel here? What was it called? Thanks. I am talking about the B1002 Lower Road junction at Shenfield. Cheers
