Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness - Keats had kicked the proverbial bucket before the S&MJ or any of its constituent parts had been built; but as a sensitive soul, he would no doubt have appreciated the unusual combination of stone, red brick, and blue brick in this arch bridge at Showsley, just to the west of Stoke Bruerne. It has cracks under the arch, but as it is now not likely to carry any dynamic loads heavier than a meandering fox, I don't think we need to worry about it.
