Gorton Brook culvert, view west, 29 April 1996

Gorton Brook culvert, view west (see all photos of the same view)

This view west from the culvert shows Gorton Brook underbridge, unchanged in the last three months. Beyond it, the embankment approaching the viaduct has been built almost from nothing: a house blocked the line in the previous picture, and its demolition has allowed the earthwork to be built.
