Crawshaw Woods (Shippen House Farm) Bridge, Hul4/20

Crawshaw Woods Bridge (also known as Shippen Lane Bridge) is a Grade II listed cast iron overbridge which spans the Leeds to Selby railway line between Cross Gates and Garforth railway stations. It is notable for being the oldest railway-associated iron bridge still in daily use on an operational ra

ilway. Due to an upgrade to the line which runs beneath it, the abutments of the bridge will be raised by 4 feet 7 inches (1.4 m), and then the iron arch re-installed at a new height to accommodate electric overhead wires underneath.
