This bridge enabled Hough Road to cross a railway operated by W. Burke & Co. Ltd. as part of that company's ironstone quarrying operation. The quarry here was operated from 1924 to 1940. However, the route of the railway must have proved useful to the farmer who later occupied the former quarry area and the bridge has been maintained rather than infilled as is usually the case.
