This is looking north towards Spruisty Bridge and Knox hamlet. This crossing point of Knox Lane is where the Old Barber rail line crossed Knox Lane and ran on to New Park, carrying coal for the gas works. According to the OS database on the bridge abutment to the right there was a benchmark. Today the foliage is so thick it is impossible to see if any of the bridge stonework remains, and if the cut mark is still present.
