Bridge on Cherry Tree Lane

The old railway bridge on Cherry Tree Lane, now used for the Nickey Line path. This bridge was built for the Midland Railway line from Harpenden to Hemel Hempstead which closed forty years ago. Much of the length of the railway trackbed has been surfaced and is now used as part of the National Cycle Network Route 57 which goes from Oxford to Welwyn. The double arched bridge was built with a view to doubling the line, which never happened, it remaining a single line until closure.
