North Watford: Balmoral Road railway bridge
The bridge carries the railway from Watford Junction to St Albans Abbey over Balmoral Road. When the railway was built in 1858 this was all agricultural land. A narrow low bridge was provided through the new railway embankment for agricultural access only. This bridge with only 10' 9" headroom survived to 1960 to be a real bottleneck to traffic, until it was replaced with the current one.
