When the Sutton Park line was constructed in the late 1870s, quite a few bridges had to be built to enable farmers and livestock owners to move cattle and ponies etc, from one side of the park to the other, as the railway bisected the park longitudinally virtually through its centre.
These photo's show the Bracebridge Cattle Arch (bridge 43) within the Park, as 66151 passes over with 4F93 coal hoppers from Toton to Warrington.
Ironically, a fence and gate now prevents livestock from moving between the two "halves" of the Park !, the bridge merely serving a waterlogged footpath underpass.
