Railway Entering Short Tunnel under Canal
I may be wrong, but I suspect this doesn't actually occur that often. The tunnel is marked as such on the initial 1870s OS map of the area, and although it looks like the bridge is carrying the canal, it isn't; the canal passes over the railway slightly further back than here.
The very large field behind camera occupies an area formerly split into half a dozen or so smaller fields. One of the old dividing fences marked a parish boundary, and a boundary stone is still marked on today's maps. It isn't very obvious, though, where it is sited. Old maps show it as being on the upper slopes of the cutting (though pre-1900 maps only show a boundary stone on the far side of the railway) - it is either now not there, or buried under thick bracken, as I looked for it on the steep banks of the cutting, as well as the field behind.
I have found no mention of this 'bridge' online. Hopefully some information does exist somewhere as I am curious about the two emblems in the centre of the parapet.
