LMS Route: Hampton in Arden to Whitacre

Hampton to Whitacre Lineside Views: mrsbr173

Bridge No 6 - one of the river bridges built with timber - looking towards Coleshill with Hampton beyond on 8th July 1951

Bridge No 6 - one of the river bridges built with timber - looking towards Coleshill with Hampton beyond on 8th July 1951. There were five river bridges provided along the route between Hampton and Whitacre, the majority being constructed from timber. The track seen fixed to the bridge are rails installed under Midland Railway ownership having their wooden keys inside the rail instead of outside as was the case with most other railway companies.
