This seems a very substantial bridge to carry the Bedworth by-pass over a footpath. In fact when the road was built in the 1970s there was a railway here - the Newdigate Colliery Railway. The colliery was closed in 1982 and the railway would have done so, probably shortly afterwards, when all remaining coal stocks had been removed.
