Chiltern Green Viaduct Chiltern Green Viaduct carries the four track Midland Main Line across the River Lea and the B653 road at East Hyde.  The original two track viaduct was built entirely of brick with two central skew spans over the road and river.  When the line was widened to four tracks, a second viaduct was built alongside the original, but with a girder truss instead of expensive skew arches for the central span.

Chiltern Green Viaduct skew span This view shows the brickwork of the skewed span over the B653. This would have been built by expert bricklayers laying at least four courses of bricks on a wooden arch former at the correct angle to form the self supporting arch.

Derelict building on Lower Luton Road, East Hyde This looks like a water pumping station, frequently found next to rivers. It was closed in the first Google shot in 2009 and quite possibly far longer.
