Oxford: Minchery Road railway bridge
Image: © Nigel Cox Taken: 16 Jan 2008
This little bridge was originally constructed in the embankment of the former Oxford to Princes Risborough railway line to provide access to Minchery Farm and its sewage works from Littlemore. However the road is now gated and only allows access to the former sewage workers' cottages around to the right. Although most of the railway line to Princes Risborough was lifted in 1963, this stub end remains as a freight line to the Cowley motor works.
