This is a redundant railway bridge from the remains of the old narrow gauge railway that was built for the construction of the Leighton and Roundhill dams at the top end of the valley of the River Burn? This line started in the field opposite Masham station [SE233813], crossed the Ure somewhere north of the road bridge, then made its way up past Healey etc. A few traces of it can be found in the Burn valley and nearer the reservoirs. The standard gauge line ended at the station which is now the caravan site. Many thanks to Gordon Hatton for correcting my original posting
