This shot shows the bridge which was constructed over the doomed railway line from Gloucester to Hereford. The underside of this bridge is still painted black along the line of the old railway, presumably to disguise the smoke staining from the steam engines. The line was not in use for long after the bridge was built, this section closing to all traffic in late 1964. Taken looking towards Gloucester.
