Long Description:This bridge was once part of the Bedford to Northampton railway.
The Cut Mark was last verified in 1959 and is on the west side of
the road on the east face. It is on the south end and is 0.5m above
the ground. It is recorded as being 43.3060m above sea level.
Mushroom Hill had land for sale here for ages until a chap
bought it and has transformed it into a woodland glen. The approach
to this Cut Mark is along the busy road between Bromham and Oakley;
we walked down the hill at a sightly quieter time of day, but be
careful of the traffic. Due to the closeness to the road the Cut
Mark is slightly damaged, presumably from a traffic incident
sometime.
