Kennet and Avon Canal: Former Lambourn Valley Railway bridge

This is the point at which the former Lambourn Valley Railway crossed the Kennet and Avon Canal by means of an iron girder bridge. The railway was in operation, from Newbury to Lambourn, from 1898 to 1973. Only the bridge abutment, seen here, on the north side of the canal survives, all traces of the railway on the south side having been demolished with the construction of a large housing estate.
