THE flashback photograph in the Worcester News (Wednesday, June 8) is the branch which ran along the north quay, under the road bridge and terminated on South Quay.

This line is partially visible in the picture of the railway bridge printed in last Monday's Worcester News. Access was gained to the quays by trains reversing somewhere near the current rowing club building.

The unused viaduct shown in the picture is skirting the south end of the racecourse, now part of the Croft Road car park, and started just west of Foregate Street station. Remains of the beginning of this branch are still visible adjoining the main viaduct where it crosses Croft Road.
