Possibly 19th century overbridge at Sheering Mill Lane, London to Cambridge railway (EHER 41097)

The bridge carrying Sheering Mill Lane across the line has brick piers and parapets. It has been heightened by the insertion of concrete beams to accommodate the overhead power lines. The bridge was described in a 2013 heritage assessment.

2013. Heritage assessment. The bridge carrying Sheering Mill Lane across the line has brick piers and parapets. It has been heightened by the insertion of concrete beams to accommodate the overhead power lines. The line is now entering the built-up area of Lower Sheering. As it approaches Sawbridgeworth Station the line passes through an industrial area dominated by former malthouses. On the west, down-side, of the line is a group of mid-nineteenth century malthouses (EHER 3628) which were linked to the railway by sidings and some of the track can still be seen in the road surface that surrounds the site. On the east, up-side, of the line are two late nineteenth century multi-storey malthouses (EHER 15044) which again had a siding connection to the main line. All these malthouses have been adapted to new uses, those on the west side for commercial purposes and those on the east for residential purposes and both have been surveyed by Essex County Council. Having passed the malthouses the line crosses Station Road at a level crossing (at NGR TL 491 151) to enter Sawbridgeworth Station and as it does so it leaves Essex for Hertfordshire where it remains on its way to Bishop’s Stortford. <1> See: <2>
