Image Notes
The railway is in a cutting at this point and there is no public access to the bridge or the cutting. The only parts of the bridge visible from the road are the two parapet walls that are visible in this distant view taken with a high-powered zoom lens from the road one long field away.
This occupation bridge was (perhaps still is) shared by two different landowners. Repairs are evident for one section of retaining wall brickwork. However, the brickwork on other sections of the retaining wall and on the pier to the left are showing significant deterioration due to surface spalling.
