1  Journey by Journey / London to the Cotswolds / Re: Cotswold Line redoubling: 2008 - 2011 on: June 27, 2010, 12:48:07
Willc wrote on 22nd October 2008, whilst talking about Stambermill Viaduct, that the only other major timber viaducts were at Denby Dale and Mytholmbridge. About three-quarters of a mile further up the line from Stambermill was an even bigger timber viaduct which crossed the Coalbournbrook Valley between Vicarage Road (Amblecote) and Brettell Lane Station. This was eventually (when ??) filled with rubble to form an embankment, the brook was culverted underneath, and a bridge built to link the two sides. As Brunel built this line he presumably built this second viaduct. Has anyone any further information, please ??
