Around the South

  Blandford railway viaduct from Stour meadows on 22nd November 2023. The Blandford railway viadict across the River Stour was part of the Somerset and Dorset Railway from Bath to Poole.  It was built around 1880 and the line was closed in 1966.  It seems it was open to goods traffic until 1969 and  wasn't demolished until 1978. https://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/16694829.remembering-blandford-bridge-demolition-40-years-ago/

There is flooding in Eastfield Lane around the junctions with Ash Grove and Hightown Road this morning after Storm Ciaran brought heavy rain.
