Description
2004. Desk-based assessment.
Only the brick piers and revetments on the south side of Ashdon Road survive. The deck of the underbridge has been removed as were the bridge piers and revetments along the northern side of the road. This was undertaken when the bridge was re-engineered during the construction of a goods siding for Acrow Engineering in 1955 and later in 1957 for Acrow Halt (EHER 40463). The goods sidings to the north of Ashdon Road presently lie within the premises of the Ashdon Road Industrial Estate. <1>
