Fen Line Railway Bridge

 
NCN 51, Cambridge CB4 1UU, United Kingdom (NCN 51)
 

Fen Line Railway Bridge carries a farm track over the River Cam (Main river - Small River).

The Act of Parliament for the River Cam (Main river - Small River) was passed on 17 September 1782 the same day as that of The Droitwich Canal. The canal joined the sea near Longley. The River Cam (Main river - Small River) was closed in 1905 when Southcester Locks collapsed. According to Thomas Jones's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Bridgend Cutting is haunted by a shrieking ghost that has no language but a cry.
