This is where the South Eastern main line crosses Sevenoaks Road, as the railway climbs up from Orpington Station towards Chelsfield and Polhill Tunnels, where it cuts through the North Downs. Although it is generally thought of as a bridge, it could almost be defined as a "cut and cover" tunnel, given the amount of embankment above it, and the maturity of the trees growing there. The scale of it can be seen from the person about to work through it, on the left of the picture.
