1870’s map of the Oysterbed area, North Hayling

This interesting map is held by the Bluebell railway, sourced from Alan Bell’s donation to them.

It shows the Oysterbed workings at North Hayling.

A railway siding was later built, just south of North Hayling Halt, to service the Oysterbeds.

See The Hayling Island Oyster Trade for more information.
