The Hump-Backed Bridge - Blankney

The Hump-Backed Bridge, Blankney

The above photograph shows what locals refer to as 'Hump-Backed Bridge'. It was built in 1884 over a private carriageway that linked Blankney Hall to Blankney and Metheringham railway station. The road over the bridge runs from Blankney village to Martin, but only half the journey is now accessible to traffic, going only as far as the railway level crossing.
