Railway viaduct at Little Bytham, near Bourne, Lincolnshire
The village of Little Bytham can be found on the B1176 four miles south west of Bourne, nestling around two grand Victorian viaducts, one of them disused and the other carrying the main east coast line between London and Scotland. It was on this stretch of track between Grantham and Peterborough on 3rd July 1938 that the LNER locomotive Mallard achieved the highest speed ever ratified for a steam locomotive of 126 mph that has not been beaten and the village has since been a popular call for visiting railway buffs.

Little Bytham: roads, roofers and an abandoned railway
The bridge and the embankments each side once carried the line from Saxby Junction, near Melton Mowbray, to Bourne, which closed early in 1959. This was part of the Midland & Great Northern system, which carried holidaymakers from the Midlands to the Norfolk coast. This line crossed the East Coast Main Line at right angles on a girder bridge which was removed years ago. The gardens of the houses on the left end at the embankment which carries the ECML (see the map extract which accompanies this Geograph image).
