The bridge abutments are all that remains of the dismantled Midland and South Western Junction Railway. The M&SWJR was independent and a north-south link between the Midland and London and South Western Railways. The route allowed Midland trains (and others) from Liverpool, Bradford and Manchester to reach the port at Southampton. The line closed in 1961.
