Old Dora

Alabama · USA · Execution site

The street that was the centre of an Alabama railroad town. A concrete pedestrian tunnel took people under the tracks into it. The old concrete roads are.

Old Dora in Alabama has a street that was once the centre of the town. Dora was built around the railway tracks and the depot, and this street held the shops and businesses, with a church and houses around it.

A concrete tunnel let people walk under the railway line into the town.

The roads are still there, made of the old concrete, and they are effectively the last thing standing.

America is full of places like this and almost none of them are listed anywhere. A railway town's whole existence depended on the depot, and when the trains stopped calling, the businesses went, the people followed, and what is left is a grid of pavements with nothing on either side.

What gets reported here belongs to the tunnel and the old street rather than to any single building, because there are hardly any buildings left to attach it to.
