Bragbury End: Bragbury Lane railway bridge This fine skewed bridge dates from the very end of the main railway building era and was built by the Great Northern Railway on their Enfield and Stevenage Loop Line. It is present on the Ordnance Survey map of 1923 but not on the edition of 1899, which gives some clue as to when the railway was built.
