This bridge crosses what was originally the Port Carlisle to Carlisle canal. It was filled in and replaced with a branch line from Port Carlisle to Drumburgh and serviced using a horse drawn 'Dandy' (think this might be at National Rail Museum York now). The main Carlisle to Silloth railway ran south of Glasson from Drumburgh to Kirkbride.
