Title
L3337 - Farmer's Accommodation bridge at Thorpe Mandeville, Northamptonshire.
Description
L3337 - This image shows a permanent way set in a deep, wide cutting as it winds through the countryside of Thorpe Mandeville in Northamptonshire. These lines formed part of the Banbury branch, an offshoot of the London Extension which provided a link between the rail networks controlled by the Great Central and Great Western Railway Companies. A brick arch overbridge spans the railway lines, linking previously adjoining farmland. This type of bridge, designed to allow free movement of cattle etc. between two areas of land under common ownership is referred to as an 'accommodation' bridge.
