Whilst the brickwork of the parapet of Bridge 149, a former SMJR (Stratford upon Avon & Midland Junction Railway) structure, looks a little in need of repair the bridge is essentially in good condition. It no longer carries Tiffield Road now just a footpath and cycleway since the Towcester bypass was opened in the late 1980s. The fence is not to keep people off the bridge but to secure the car park of Screfix that I am standing in to take the photograph.
