Geocache Description:


60ml pot big enough for small trackables.

Shepreth Branch Junction.

The Cambridge to Liverpool Street line runs to the left and the line to Royston, Hitchin, Kings Cross and Brighton diverges to the right. The Liverpool Street line was built by the Great Eastern Railway, as was the line from here to Shepreth, where it joined the Great Northern line from Kings Cross - hence the name of this junction. Until the Royston line was electrified in the 1980s, there was a manual signal box here.

The Little Bridges series was started by Stanthews in 2009 to highlight small footbridges in remote parts of Wiltshire. Since then the series has been expanded by others all over the country and starting to spread fast. There is a stats listing run by Billiethecat, so you can see how many Little Bridges you have found, you can find it here:- https://littlebridgesseries.wordpress.com/ . If you would like to add to the series, please contact Stan on stanthews@aol.com and he will give you a number for your bridge, to qualify, the bridge must be a foot bridge too small for vehicles, please make sure your title exactly matches “Little Bridges # xxxx then the name” including spaces so it will get picked up and added to stats list.
