Description
2013. Heritage assessment.
Stoney Common Road overbridge is entirely of brick construction apart from concrete beams which were inserted to raise the height of the bridge to accommodate the overhead power lines during the electrification of the 1980s.
To the north of the bridge the line passes a pair of industrial buildings which are on the up-side (east) of the line. These are the malthouse and its associated storage building of about 1870 and originally a siding from the up-line ran between the two buildings (EHER 15275). The line is now entering the village of Stansted Mountfitchet. <1>
