Viaduct, Little Bytham The giant Great Northern Railway viaduct looms large in this small village, and still carries the main East Coast line. It appears to be built of blue engineering brick. I haven't found a date beyond that it is Victorian.

Little Bytham: roads, roofers and an abandoned railway The bridge and the embankments each side once carried the line from Saxby Junction, near Melton Mowbray, to Bourne, which closed early in 1959. This was part of the Midland & Great Northern system, which carried holidaymakers from the Midlands to the Norfolk coast. This line crossed the East Coast Main Line at right angles on a girder bridge which was removed years ago. The gardens of the houses on the left end at the embankment which carries the ECML (see the map extract which accompanies this Geograph image).

Little Bytham: under the East Coast Main Line The railway crosses the B1176 from Stamford to Grantham (ahead). The bridge was built to carry two tracks and later extended each side to carry the current four. 

(The line south from Stoke Summit near Grantham was the stretch of the line on which, in 1938, the engine "Mallard" set the world speed record for a steam locomotive. It had to slow hereabouts because of the sharper curves at the next station to the south, Essendine.)
