Title
L3075 - Construction of bridge 448, Rugby
Description
L3075 - These are thought to be two of the massive brick piers which were built to support the four span girder bridge (no. 448) north of Rugby that carried the Last Main Line across the Oxford Canal. When the picture was taken, the railway's prodigious embankment appears to be little more than a spoil heap. Note the brick vaulting at the top of the piers which has been employed to help bear the weight of the girders and subsequent rail traffic.
