The Booker Bridge

As seen from the perspective of a generation of bevy merchants on their Saturday night sojourn to the Disco capital of the Clyde Coast. To Janeiro's and Rioz and Casper's they strolled during the early 80's in New Romantic suits armed with bravado and Tennent's lager on the way there. Vandalising cars in Kilmeny Terrace on the way

   
 

  Above: Feb 2000: The railway bridge was replaced during the line electrification in 1984, although the pillars to the original bridge still remain in use. In fact, on a summer Friday evening - you can't move for young kids drinking White Lightning under them. Below: Thanks to E.R Reynolds for sending this out of Copyright 1930's original photograph. The partly hidden signal box existed until the Beecham cuts finally reached the outpost of rural Ayrshire in the late 1960's. Look at those trees. They were dying to the roots.
