Railway bridges at Woodford Halse

These two bridges were built to take the Great Central Railway's London Extension across the road and into Woodford Halse Station. Two bridges were necessary as the tracks split to pass the station's island platform. The station, to the left, was accessed from the road via a staircase in the bridge abutment. Originally named Woodford and Hinton, the villages on either side of the line, the station was closed in the 1960's along with the whole London Extension line.
