Did this railway (as opposed to the East & West Junction Railway) go into receivership - if so, when. And when did it come out of receivership?Continue

Which road was it?
Your description leads me to suspect it maybe one of the Great Central line bridges.
It was on Banbury lane
Thanks for reply
If the bridge parapet in question is midway between Weston and Culworth Crossroads on Banbury Lane as I think is ( perhaps Steve could confirm) then it's on the Great Central main line and is probably numbered Bridge No 510. It spanned a wide, deep but relatively shallow sloped cutting. GCR Bridges 509 at Culworth Station and 490 at Charwelton and SMJ Bridge 33 at Moreton were demolished and levelled soon after the collapse of an SMJ bridge under a lorry at Byfield and over further concerns about the increasing weights of lorries.
Incidentally back in the 60s Weedon Lois was usually referred to as Lois Weedon , many local villagers were confused when village name signs appeared with the current name displayed so it would be informative to know which way around current Weedon inhabitants refer to their village.
I'm a Moreton Pinkney man and it's always Lois Weedon !!!
