Rumour has it that a light rail track ran from "Wormingford Lock" into Smallbridge Hall. This could be feasible as there was a Mill at the Hall. Consequently grain or flour could have been transported by this track from the Lighters.
However, the owners are adamant no such track existed, so how come I found two lengths overgrown in a hedge along a footpath about 500yds away from the Hall
On a 1904 Tithe Map there is marked a straight line from the Lock to the Hall, the owners say its an old hedge but it passes straight through the main drive, which seems rather odd.
The local historian thinks I am barking mad !
