Spence's Bridge

Even with the construction of the BBR,  the inhabitants of  Boxer Bay were unhappy.  In particular, the accessibility of the station, requiring a long walk down the precipitous hillside which made for unpleasant discussion in the village.   Local pub owner Mr. Spence decided to put up the necessary funds to erect a footbridge.  Leading directly to the village High street for the benefit of all,  not least his loyal customers who now have an undeviating route to the pub from the station 😉   Spence's Bridge has also become a favorite spot for the local children to watch the comings & goings of the railway.
