Development History
24 October 2014: Inspection finds the railway viaduct in fair coverall condition but threatened in the long term by the copious growths of trees and shrubs on the top deck. Some of the arches have been re-purposed as workshop/ stores. The railway is thought to have closed to operational use in the late 1960s.
