Photograph Notes: The grass covered track used to be a railway line, which the Royal Engineers built from 'Weatherlees Junction' on the SECR. The line ran along the north side of the derelict power station (now known as [[5211188]]) (pace recent publications, this line was not the same as the power station spur), crossed the Thanet to Sandwich road just north of the filling stations and arrived at the New Quay behind Pfizer's sports ground. It then ran down the east side of the road, crossed the Stonar Cut and split in two at the Red Lion pub, about where the entrance to the recycling plant now is. One branch crossed the road, and both ran along the road verges to army camps where Pfizer's now is. The eastern branch also served Pierson's Quay. Some anonymous army official coined the name 'Richborough Port' http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/r/richborough_port/index1.shtml The track ends at a gate, which is just visible but can be better viewed as [[5183825]]. Pontoon sections of the Mulberry harbour were stored on the Weatherlees railway sidings during 1944 and were moved from there by Bulleid Austerity Q1 class locomotives.
