Some bridges have survived, some have not

BTW the NER actually had detailed line diagrams of every line showing exact positions of mileposts etc and these occasionally surface at auction, usually for high prices. I remember one turned up at the Malton auction for the Waskerley branch and it had been used by BR as a guide for the scrapmen so it had pencilled notes beside the bridges saying "take out" and "leave in"!

Re: Some bridges have survived, some have not
Passing along the burdale road the other day, I noticed a builders van parked up at one of the old remains of some bridge abutmants, just along from the spot were the landowner has breached the old trackbed with an access road, anyway it looked to me as if he was engaged in pointing up of the old brickwork, this begs the question why ?, if I hadnt been in a hurry I was going to go have a word with the guy and see what the crack was, but didnt get the chance, anyone any ideas ?
