Building the last Main Line Railway

Flecknoe, Willoughby and Staverton: gcrcs116

A completed brick arch occupation underbridge which carried the London Extension over a farm track just south of Wolfhampton around 1897. Built by T Oliver & Son as part of Contract No 4 (Rugby to Woodford), this structure (Bridge No 477) was one of countless bridges constructed by the Great Central to provide farmers with access to their land.
