A bridge there was - Edgerley, Shropshire

The embankment ahead in this picture was the filled-in road bridgehole over the Shropshire & Montgomeryshire Railway at Edgerley. This line was intended to make a link between The Potteries at Stoke on Trent and Dublin, hence it's nickname the Potts, but this plan never came to fruition. Somewhat confusingly, there are two places named Edgerley on the OS map here, but whether they are separate or the same place named twice is not clear. Time taken 3.02 pm BST (British Summer Time).
