HFF Great Central Railway Rothley Leicestershire 28th April 2021

Almost taken over by nature now and lost in the greenery GCR Bridge 356 over Rothley Brook to the south of Rothley station was built by the Great Central Railway in the 1890s but has never carried a railway line. The main line actually runs on a very high embankment about 100yds east of this location.

It was provided by the GCR to compensate a landowner for the building of the railway embankment which cut off and orphaned part of a larger field and needed this occupation bridge over the river to access it. It has clearly not been used for many years.

HFF and have a great holiday weekend.
