The railway from Scarva to Banbridge opened in 1859, closed in 1933, re-opened in 1934 and finally closed in 1955. This is the remains of the bridge where it crossed the Newry Canal near Scarva. Scarva and the Belfast-Dublin line is to the left and Banbridge to the right. Nature has done its best to reclaim the parapets.
