Actually a pair of bridges, the nearer brick arch (with a height limit of 3.7m) carrying the freight lines between Middlewich and Crewe, and the further, modern extension taking the fast lines between Manchester and Crewe. See Image for the other side.

Hall Lane railway bridge, Elworth
Actually a pair of bridges, the nearer modern steel bridge carrying the fast lines between Manchester and Crewe, and the older brick arch beyond (with a height limit of 3.7m) carrying the freight lines between Middlewich and Crewe. The presence of a sharp bend just beyond necessitates traffic light control.

Industrial remains off Hall Lane, Ettiley Heath
Only a number of concrete blocks of various heights remain of a former building here. Old maps show sidings at this point and a salt works the other side of the canal bridge (a site now occupied by the United Phosphorous building in the background), so it may have been a building storing salt waiting to be loaded onto trains.
