Possibly 19th century bridge at Roydon Mill, London to Cambridge railway (EHER 41072)

Concrete and brick bridge, over River Stort just past Roydon Mill, supported concrete piers and with brick parapets and metal railings. The bridge was described in a 2013 heritage assessment.

2013. Heritage assessment. Just after passing Roydon Mill the line crosses an overflow weir from the Stort Navigation into the River Stort itself. The water flows through a circular culvert and under a bridge which are next to each other, the presence of both perhaps indicating that the original culvert was not enough to cope with the overflow when water in the navigation was at its height. The entire structure appears to be of blue engineering brick. After a short distance the line reaches Roydon Station which consists of a number of component parts, mostly original and hence of historic and architectural importance – goods shed, station building, signal box, level crossing, platforms. As well as being a group of structures in itself, the station forms part of a wider group of important transport structures with the Stort Navigation and the road bridge over the navigation adjacent to the level crossing. The station is set to the north of the village of Roydon which is a Conservation Area, the northern boundary of which is to the south of the station. The whole station is staggered either side of the level crossing. The down platform is on the north of the line to the west of the level crossing while the up platform is on the south side of the line to the east of the level crossing. <1> See: <2>
