The LNWR line from Market Harborough to Seaton and Luffenham crossed under a minor road at SP 915 987. Interesting that the arches and parapets are in stone, whereas the load bearing arches are brick. Did some local landowner have a say in the finish of the bridge ? The cutting was too overgrown to battle through easily, but I still regret not having done so to find the junctions of the Peterborough line (1/4 mile south) and the Uppingham branch (1 mile northwards), both of which also crossed under the Midland.   (7/35)
