Draughton crossing

The old footbridge

Unfortunately the steps are gone I think the view would of been amazing

The frosty morning left me undaunted to go to Draughton crossing which is close to Maidwell village to take some shots of this magnificent piece of architecture that remains as a monument to a once great time when railways were kings of transport.
A chance meeting with a couple walking there dogs revealed a time of when steam trains once graced this line. The gentleman explained how he grew up in Maidwell and as a boy used to watch steam trains trundle by and how he would stand at the top of the bridge waiting for a train to pass under engulfing him in steam. It made me very very jealous
