Possibly 19th century overbridge at Parndon Mill Lane, London to Cambridge railway (EHER 41086)
Please read our guidance about the use of Essex Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
The line passes under Parndon Mill Lane, at a steel girder bridge on brick piers. The bridge was obviously raised on both extra courses of brick work and a concrete slab in order to accommodate the overhead wires installed at electrification in 1960. The line soon passes under another overbridge which carries the A414 Fifth Avenue
/ Allende Avenue over the railway. This was built in the mid 20th century as part of the development of the New Town. The bridge was described in a 2013 heritage assessment.
