GWR Route: North Warwickshire Line
Danzey for Tanworth Station: gwrdt2826
Between Danzey and Henley-in-Arden the Birmingham and North
Warwickshire Railway crossed several footpaths as this plan shows. The
construction of a new railway is bound to interfere with long established
public and private footpaths. These would need to be stopped-up or diverted as
appropriate. The Railway Company would therefore agree with the relevant local
authority and landowners the necessary work, and detailed maps were drawn up to
show the proposals.
On this plan, the top map shows a footpath between Tanworth
Lane and Ramshill Lane being stopped up completely as an alternative route by
Ramshill Lane was available. A photograph of the extreme skew plate girder
bridge over this road at this point can be seen in image 'gwrdt1371'. Also on the top map a short section of a
second path is shown diverted alongside the new railway. The lower map is about
a mile further south and shows a path diverted alongside both sides of the
railway and a new accommodation bridge being provided under the railway for the
footpath.
