Bridge over Redbourn High Street The disused railway bridge crossing Redbourn High Street, once the A5.  The single line ran from Harpenden to Hemel Hempstead and was built by the Midland Railway.  Passenger services ceased in 1947, but the full length of the line was not closed and removed until 1982.  Nowadays a large part of the line is used as a cycleway and footpath, known as the 'Nickey Line'.
