This old railway bridge is so far from the past that this section barely shows on a modern map. I would guess it to be a branch line to a now closed colliery. Simon N Page tells us this is the Hull and Barnsley Railway. More information here http://www.subbrit.org.uk/sb-sites/stations/s/sprotbrough/index.shtml .
