11. Railway Bridge Abutments

As you emerge from the curve you become aware of earthworks from a disused railway. You are just entering the section where the B&H route was intersected by the former Midland & South West (M&SW) through route from Cheltenham to Andover. Although the later M&SW flew over the B&H further along the way, the military requirement for inter-working between the two resulted in a complicated triangular junction from the GWR.

As you approach the site of Wolfhall Junction more heavy-duty abutments line the canal as the two routes converge.
