Green Lane bridge over the line of the former Godley to Apethorn railway line has a double arch.
Now that the line is part of the Trans Pennine Trail and National Cycle Route 62 walkers and cyclists use the larger arch whilst horse-riders use the other.
A closer look at the brickwork shows that the two arches vary slightly in construction which suggests the smaller arch was a later addition, possibly to accomodate a passing rail.

That's a bucolic, inspiring image... Bridges uniting what was formerly apart...

The colorful brick works leave a fantastic texture! Wonderful bridge! We have some similar bridge in Iran.
Good morning Gerald
I drove over that bridgelast week. Green Lane is very bumpy and had many big puddles to drive through.
I aaked this pathway quite a few times and have ot noticed the join before... I must walk the track again with my camera and start to learn how to spot such things my friend.. ;O)
Hope alls well with your new home.

Congratulations with the bridge! It was right up my alley - I liked that close-up very much.
Walkers, cyclists and horse-riders. That last one is amazing to me.
I like this one a lot...love stonework.
In Peebles Tweed Bridge is the same! The railway bridge was added at the time the railway was constructed but the bridge had been there for a lot longer. Could that have been the case here?
