Maps © and database Crown copyright & Landmark Information Group All rights reserved. May 2011. 3 4 SUMMARY. This Report presents the results of the field survey of the operating railway line between Shenfield and Southminster. A companion Report is published for the two now-discontinued railway branches from Witham to Maldon, and from Woodham Ferrers to Maldon. Fieldwork was carried out between April and August 2007. The purpose of the Survey was to detail what survives of the structures of these lines and their accompanying works including buildings, bridges, embankments, cuttings and subsiduary constructions, to review the statutory designations and to suggest possible further usage for the lines. INTRODUCTION. Much of the track line and adjacent land of the two discontinued lines is in private or corporate ownership and is publicly accessible only where it is crossed by public roads and paths. Small parts have been developed by Local Councils as “Trails” as a public amenity. There are two Nature Reserves. Where building development has been permitted on the former track, some recognition of the former alignment is still recognisable by the line of streets, footpaths and land/property boundaries.
