This takes Carwood Road over the course of the former railway which formed the first rail route into Sheffield form the north. It was opened in 1838 by the Sheffield and Rotherham Railway and ran to a terminus which was later known as Wicker station. This closed to passengers in 1870 being replaced by Sheffield Midland station. However Wicker had continued use as a goods depot until 1965. Apart from this bridge nearly all evidence of the existence of a railway here has been obliterated.
