Broughton Railway Bridge
The bridge over the railway line, now disused, which went from Mold Junction at Saltney to Mold. The bridge used to carry the back lane from Broughton to Bretton, however, the developments of the Broughton retail park, and the A55 link from Broughton, have reduced it to a bridleway.

Broughton Hall, off Broughton Hall Road
This photo of Broughton Hall was taken by O.C.Remington a member of the USAF who was stationed at RAF Sealand in the mid 1950s. He and his family were accommodated at the hall during their time in UK, and his son and I both attended Broughton V.P. school. The hall was demolished for housing in the 1970s, and its location was close to the junction of Copper Beech Close with Forest Drive. His son C.Craig Remington has given me permission to submit the photo.

Broughton underpass
Broughton Hall Road was lowered to go under the newer A55 link road. Despite all the warning signs and the automated flashing lights (height sensor post at far left of picture) many vans have come to grief at this point. Note the black and yellow markings on the left hand side of the bridge are pale and worn whereas those on the right are good as new!

Broughton railway bridge and bridleway to the shopping park
The old railway bridge once carried the minor road between Broughton and Bretton over the Mold Junction line. The line was closed in the 1960s and the road has now been cut through by the A55 links. Nevertheless, the bridge still provides an important bridleway route to the shopping park behind the trees, and onwards to the old road to Bretton. The small dark mark on the parapet is the remains of a damaged rivet bench mark - see
