The old railway bridge once carried the minor road between Broughton and Bretton over the Mold Junction line. The line was closed in the 1960s and the road has now been cut through by the A55 links. Nevertheless, the bridge still provides an important bridleway route to the shopping park behind the trees, and onwards to the old road to Bretton. The small dark mark on the parapet is the remains of a damaged rivet bench mark - see Image
