An updated version of an 1841 map showing the bridge crossing the River Cole just prior Stechford station

An updated version of an 1841 map showing the bridge crossing the River Cole just prior Stechford station. The outline of the land being purchased for the construction of the Aston to Stechford line is seen immediately above. Hand written notes with condition of the brickwork. The above map was provided by Russell Burridge who copied two huge 4ft x 2ft folders showing in detail the route as surveyed in 1841 by Binns & Clifford of Birmingham, and updated by F Wood of Rugby in 1863 and then by others up until circa 1875.
