Bridge over a former railway
Bridge over a former railway
A bridge carrying the M50 motorway over the former Gloucester to Ledbury railway. It's an indication that the M50 was one of the first motorways to be built in Britain, the fact that it pre-dates the railway closures, this line closed in 1959, before the Beeching closures. Today the bridge is used for farmland access.
