Combine at work, Catton
A busy time for arable farmers with crops ready for harvest and a change in the weather forecast. The 2018 cereal crop is said to be poorer than usual as the long period of drought has meant that the grains have been less well developed.

Remains of the old railway bridge
These are the visible remains of the old railway bridge over the Swale at Catton. The river is to the right and on the far bank there must be a similar structure, but in summer it is completely hidden by foliage. The bridge must date from circa 1848 which is when the branch from Melmerby Junction to Thirsk opened, the line finally closing to all traffic in 1966. Quite when the bridge was demolished is a mystery, as was its construction. If there are substantial sandstone structures either side of the river, was there a stone arch bridge or a metal girder bridge? The span would appear to be too far for a single stone arch, whilst there is no indication of any central pier in the river, so maybe there was a metal girder bridge. More investigation required to find the answer.
My 2005 edition of the 1:25000 map shows a footbridge here [later editions omit it], but a local resident was of the opinion that any bridge was merely for a pipe to cross the river.
