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.

- Conservation Area: Hungerford
Monument Type(s):
- RAILWAY BRIDGE (Mid 20th century - Present to Early 21st century - 1950 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. It is similar to the bridge over Croft Road, which, according to the Hungerford Virtual Museum, was later replaced in 1951 <1>. (It was presumably the deck that was replaced, as the abutments appear to be Victorian brickwork.)
