The railways came to Hilperton with a passion in the Victorian era and several rival firms had to meet to negotiate the flood plains around the River Avon. This bridge also carries a benchmark of about the same vintage - see https://www.bench-marks.org.uk/bm71702 for the entry in the Benchmark Database and Image] for a wider view of this otherwise unremarkable road bridge.
