This bridge is immediately to the west of the bridge in Tiepigs Lane, just before the terminus of the line is reached at Hayes. I am not sure of its original purpose and it is very overgrown now. The Hayes branch line from the Mid-Kent line at Elmers End was built by the West Wickham & Hayes Railway, but was sold to the South Eastern Railway on the opening day, 29th May 1882. This area saw urbanisation relatively late and usage of the line remained low until electrification in 1925.
