Workman are rebuilding the final span on this girder bridge damaged by the storms and flood water of the winter of 1900/1901. The abutment and one set of columns appears to need replacing. The line was out of action for some months due to the nature of the damage, whilst other photographic evidence in Bob Essery's book shows that further down the line towards Wixford the damage required several bridges to be ultimately replaced albeit in 1915.
