SO6414 : Railway fencing at Bilson Yard

Railway fencing at Bilson Yard
The site of Bilson Yard, once a busy railway freight yard complete with signal box, junctions off to other branch lines and even a small passenger halt (opened as a temporary measure in 1907 until the GWR could construct a line joining up with the S&W's line into Cinderford station itself, which they did in 1908; Bilson Halt remained in unadvertised use until official closure in 1944). Now the site of the yard is an open space with a footpath and cycle track running through it and the only reminder of the area's past use is the distinctive railway fencing, using repurposed sleepers as fenceposts, along each edge of the former railway property.
