Photos from the Surry Historical Society Museum, we hope to get back soon to get better images. These were taken through display case glass at an angle with the least glare, then cropped and enlarged. Sometimes you get what you can get.

 22 Jan 23:

Exciting times, we found remnants of an old roadbed for the Surry, Sussex and Southhampton Railway near Scotland Wharf on the James River. Looking West, this line ran uphill abit and curved to the right into a large clearing.

This area would have been part of the wye just up the hill from the wharf.
