This poorly surfaced lane leads southwest from the A177 Durham/Shincliffe to Bowburn road to South Grange Farm (known in the 19th Century as Shincliffe Moor House). It is now marked as a public footpath. The western edge of Bowburn village is visible in the distance. The bridge carries it over the disused Leamside line, which until 1872 formed part of the East Coast mainline. It was most likely constructed c.1839, when the line opened.
