The distance stated i.e. 146 miles 902 yards, is the distance from this bridge to London Euston Station. In the pre-Beeching days when this station served the Western Region the numbers would have been different in that the distance would be measured to London Paddington. To add to the confusion it would also have been stated in Miles & Chains. At least that is what I was informed by railway managers. However, some documentation exists that still maintains the distance measured is to Paddington. Whoever you believe it's still a long walk!
