THE last piece of a vast restoration project has been completed.
Hockley Viaduct, the Victorian structure that carried a railway across the Itchen Valley south of Winchester, has been restored in recent years.
It includes a signal and pieces of coloured glass have now been inserted into the arm. The pieces of red and green glass complete the signal which is positioned as ‘clear to proceed’.
Julia Sandison, chairman of the Friends of Hockley Viaduct, told Belgarum: “We’ve finally been able to carry out the last little thing that needed doing to the Hockley Viaduct ie to insert the coloured ‘spectacles’ into the signal arm.
