Underneath Burley Road bridge This bridge carrying Burley Road over the formation of the old LSWR 'Castleman's Corkscrew' main line near Burbush Hill was rebuilt in concrete not too long before the line was closed in the 1960's.  To the west, the railway cutting has become a waterlogged bog, but to the east a path/bridleway exists as far as the site of the old Holmsley Station.
