Eastbury: Westbury Road railway bridge

This tiny bridge allows cars, and nothing much bigger, to pass between Eastbury and Moor Park which is beyond the bridge. There has always been an historic right of way through here, long before the Moor Park estate was built and long before suburban Eastbury was built. In fact the bridge dates from around 1887 when the Metropolitan Railway extended their line from Pinner to Rickmansworth and the existing right of way had to be accommodated. Today it is the point at which the approximate 240 kilometre (or about 150 mile) long London Loop long distance footpath crosses the railway.
