Description
1993. Field survey.
The Witham to Maldon railway line was part of a longer route that joined Wickford with Bishops Stortford via Woodham Ferrers, Maldon, Witham and Braintree. The Maldon, Witham and Braintree Railway was opened in 1848 and following substantial losses over several years, the line was closed in April 1966 as part of the Beeching cuts. Track and ballast have generally been removed and sections sold to several owners, although the County Council is the majority owner.
This is a circular concrete culvert with manholes at both ends.
