Title
L3344 - Farmer's Accommodation Bridge in Chacombe, Northamptonshire
Description
L3344 - The image shows an Accommodation Bridge designed to link lands belonging to a common owner, which had become separated as a result of the construction of the railway line. The farmer was able to have continuing access between fields via the gateway through the base of the bridge. In this instance a brick arch bridge with curved wing walls has been designed to convey tracks belonging to the Banbury branch over land in Chacombe, Northamptonshire. However, the line itself was yet to be completed at the time Newton captured this image on film. Earth on the embankment looks loose and freshly dug, and piles of tipping can be seen at the top left of the photograph.
