Red Barn

The pipeline turns south at the playing fields and passes through land of  the Northern Junior Community School. It follows a trackway across Linden Lea until it meets the southern railway line where it turns west. It now passes through another school's playing field - Red Barn Community Primary School, then under the Cornaway bridge ramp and on through the south side of Portchester Crematorium.

Location E looking south where the pipeline crosses the Linden Lea road and continues down the track on the other side.

 
 
 
Simpson Close

Location F looking west. The railway track is on the left and Simpson Close on the right. The pipe turns here exactly following the mown grass.

 
 
 
Cornaway Bridge

Location G looking east. This photo was taken on the northern ramp which leads over Cornaway Bridge. The grass strip (centre left) marks the pipeline route. To the right is the railway line complete with a convenient train. The bridge has been replaced since the pipeline was laid.

 
 
 
Winnham Farm

Location H looking west. The railway is behind the hedge on the left and the pipeline runs parallel to it on this side. On the skyline is a track which crosses the railway via Cam's bridge. The pipeline turns south (left) about one third of the way along the hedge.
