…This bit of vandalism on the old railway bridge in Gorham is older than I am…
I’m not actually sure what it’s saying. The first word seems to be a name or something equally inscrutable, but the trees grew across the first few letters. And I’m not sure if that’s an I or an E. If it’s an I, the first word is, of all things, “Pelvis”, with possibly a letter or two before the P. Then there’s the ’83, which at least tells me the date. And then the Gor-scribble. It might have been intended to be “Gorham”, but they ran out of space. The bridge ends right beyond the edge of the photograph on that side.
This is a strange world, when people will write “Pelvis ’83 Gor” on a bridge, and no one buffs it out so it’s still visible, 30 years later…
