Carrying the main London to Edinburgh east-coast railway line over Springwell Lane. This section of the line connecting York to Darlington was opened in 1841. I presume this lovely skew bridge dates from then. When electrification came in additional work was done to the bridge as can be seen by the concrete on top.
