Possible mid 19th century culvert on the Witham to Maldon dismantled railway line, south of Langford Place (EHER 18531)

A possible culvert for the dismantled railway line, though when visited in 1993 it could not be found.

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 possibly a culvert but it was not found only ditches at each end. For other bridges and culverts see EHER 8457, EHER 18507-18530, EHER 18532-18533. GRADE *. <1>
