Culvert under old railway embankment
Culvert under old railway embankment
I am always impressed by the fact that the stonework on even the most humble of railway structures appears to be of such high quality. This is a culvert carrying an utterly insignificant dribble of water beneath the embankment of the old Forest of Dean Central Railway, and, damage notwithstanding, its design and execution would grace a far more important and prominent structure! Over 70 years after closure of the line, it's showing its age.
