It is located at milepost 140¼.
Although the reservoir and waterworks were built in the 1960s, the bridge dates back to the 19th century and the era of the construction of the railway. It provided access to Eyemore Farm, which was located immediately south of the railway, from Eyemore Wood to the north of the Railwayrailway.
The reservoir was constructed in 1964 and commissioned in 1967.<ref>[[Bibliography#Books|Marshall (1989)]] p. 95.</ref> The main farm building still stands, although its extensive gardens are mostly lost under the reservoir.<ref>[https://www.parksandgardens.org/places/eymore-farm ParksAndGardens.org]</ref>
