Once were trains [3]
These abutments are all that remain of a bridge that once carried the Devizes branch railway over the lane. Devizes was first reached by a branch line from Holt junction on the Wessex main line in 1857. The line became a through line in 1862 when the GWR Reading to Hungerford line was extended to Devizes via Pewsey. It returned to being a branch line in 1900 when the Stert to Westbury link was built. The line and all of its stations closed in 1966.

Seen from the bridge that carries the minor road, this was once the trackbed of the Devizes branch railway. Devizes was first reached by a branch line from Holt junction on the Wessex main line in 1857. The line became a through line in 1862 when the GWR Reading to Hungerford line was extended to Devizes via Pewsey. It returned to being a branch line in 1900 when the Stert to Westbury link was built. The line and all of its stations closed in 1966.
