]]> Fri, 27 May 2016 08:15:26 UTC 20018569 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/20016861?utm_medium=rss I have lived in Southgate my whole life and the bridge has been for me and my family a short route to town, a favourite place to train spot when my children were young and now my dog is a well known train spotter on this bridge , it is sentimental to us, it is also in keeping with East Park and Malthouse Road, and if it ain't broke don't fix it.

My mother, now aged 89 was born and brought up in Crawley, as was her mother - her family moved from Hampshire just prior to her birth. My Gran was born in 32 Malthouse Road and lived there until she was in her 80's. Obviously the iron railway bridge was a very familiar sight to her every single day, as it was to Mum and then myself when I walked to her house and then into town. The bridge is a reminder of the coming of the age of the train to what was a very pretty and sleepy market town back then. The rest is history as they say - first the train, then the small town just grew to the modern bustling town it is today. It is important for people now and in future generations to know the history of the place where they live and to retain as much as they can of it's physical history. So much of the old town was lost when the new town was commissioned, wonderful buildings that had been there for hundreds of years, thank goodness for the Weald Museum. Save this little bridge, it has seen so much of the change over the years, retain it to see what is to come.
Forever a Sussex lass.

Even if the bridge has to be moved to make way for a modern one that is wheelchair and pushchair friendly, it should still be saved, restored and put back into use somewhere in Crawley. It is part of Crawley's history.

This fine iron structure by H Young & Co (Engineers) who started in 1871 is a rare item. There is a similar bridge by this manufacturer at Alresford station on the Mid Hants railway.
I believe a modern coat of paint would restore it to its former glory.
I have used the bridge continuously for the past 30 years at various times of the day & night with no problems. Comments that people throw rubbish onto the line below are I believe an exaggeration.
Also, countless young children have viewed the movement of trains on the line below.
Why does Crawley new town have to have all modern buildings etc?

I'm aware that the station is to be rebuilt, but with a little forethought and imagination, surely this venerable bridge could be incorporated into the design of the new station. Please save it.
