Almost no-one travelling along the A162 that runs between Tadcaster and Pontefract will appreciate that they are crossing a stone built 3 arch bridge just north of Towton village. There is a parapet on the west side of the road, but nothing on the other side, by the junction to Ulleskelf, bar a grass verge and some scrub land beyond. This bridge - CFH 1 / 1A - is one of few remaining features from the former line running between Church Fenton and Harrogate via Wetherby. View is looking east towards Church Fenton, and shows overspill in the arches from the filling in of the east side cutting.
