The brickwork is an example of English bond. Just north of Lowsonford village, the former bridge carried the line between Henley-in-Arden and the present Lapworth station on the Snow Hill line (originally Kingswood station, renamed Lapworth in 1902). Opened fully in 1894, the line closed in 1915. An interesting history with links is at http://www.warwickshirerailways.com/gwr/henleyinarden_old.htm Another point on the line is seen at Image
