The Kingsbury and Water Orton Railway: mrwo1763
The new road bridge, near Water Orton, carrying the main
Tamworth road over the railway in 1907. This bridge has three skew elliptical
arches each with a 26 feet span, and long approaches, viz., 12½ chains
in length on the north or Tamworth aide, and 11 chains in length on the south
side. Untill the railway came the Tamworth road at this point was subject to
serious flooding from the river Tame, and, indeed, was not infrequently
rendered almost impassable to vehicular traffic in wet seasons. To meet the
requirements of the new railway this stretch of road has been remodelled.
