Forum topic: Ally Pally rail bridge threatened with demolition

Ally Pally rail bridge threatened with demolition

But now, it seems, it's in danger of collapsing and Highways England are talking about demolishing it. Ally Pally and Haringey Council would like it to stay.

Read about it on Alexandra Park Neighbours and in the Ham & High .
