This massive bridge takes the Snow Hill line over Darley Green Road southeast of Dorridge. An excellent Wikipedia article on Dorridge says that the line was originally four-track between Birmingham and Lapworth but had been reduced to two by the mid-1960s. The form of this bridge suggests that an original two lines were widened to four as commuter traffic developed in mid-Warwickshire from growing communities such as Dorridge. This, the north side, is in blue brick while the lower-height southern span is of orange brick. Postbox B95 99 is set into the northwest abutment (there is a terrace of houses out of shot, right). B95 is odd because all the postcodes hereabouts are B93. Road sign appears to warn of ducks. There are brooks nearby.
