The West Berkshire Historic Environment Record (HER) is the primary index of the physical remains of past human activity in the unitary authority of West Berkshire Council. Limited elements of the West Berkshire HER are available online via the Heritage Gateway, therefore it is not suitable for use in desk-based studies associated with development, planning and land-use changes, and does not meet the requirements of paragraph 194 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2021: 56). Please read the important guidance on the use of the West Berkshire HER data. For these purposes and all other commercial enquiries, please contact the Archaeology team and complete our online HER enquiry form.

Associated Legal Designations or Protected Status

• Conservation Area: Hungerford

Monument Type(s):

• RAILWAY BRIDGE (Early 21st century - 2012 AD to 2013 AD)

Full Description

A railway bridge was first built at this location in 1862 and widened in 1896 as part of the doubling of the railway. According to the Hungerford Virtual Museum, it was later replaced in 1951, and again in 2012 <1>. (It was presumably the deck that was replaced, as the abutments would appear to be Victorian brickwork.)
