Railway Bridge over the Aire and Calder Navigation

This bridge is a replacement for the original one built by the North Eastern Railway. It carries trains on the Hull to Doncaster and London route.

Support for the Railway Bridge over the Aire and Calder Navigation

For the replacement bridge, the old brick abutments have been cut back and new beam supports provided at both ends. This is the northwest side of the canal and the removal of brickwork is likely to mean a railside Ordnance Survey flush bracket benchmark no longer exists. See Link

for details of the benchmark.

This view shows the extent of old brickwork removal and replacement by new brickwork and steelwork. As a result an Ordnance Survey flush bracket benchmark at rail level has probably gone. See Link

for details of the benchmark.
