Summary
| Description |
English: Ghost of The Crab and Winkle Line. The sea wall here follows the exact path of the embankment of the Crab and Winkle Line that ran from St Botolphs (Now Colchester Town) Station to Brightlingsea via Wivenhoe. I am told that children before WW2 used to love the ride across the wooden viaduct at Alresford Creek it used to flex and groan under the weight of the train they were all convinced it would collapse causing great excitement. The Railway Tavern brew pub in Brightlingsea celebrate the old railway with their 3.7% ABV Crab and Winkle Mild made without finings. The Crab and Winkle Line missed its centenary by a couple of years by closing in 1964. This section of the line is now a public footpath |
