[[File: Waterworks_Crossing_20150610.jpg|thumb|300px|right| Waterworks Crossing]][[File: Waterworks_20150610.jpg|thumb|300px|right| The Waterworks bridge]]Waterworks Crossing is situated north of milepost 145¾. It provides access for a private road to the Severn Trent waterworks Waterworks on the eastern side of the river via a bridge over the river. The bridge is supported by two arched water carrying pipes that support the bridge span.  The crossing was used as a filming location in the 1977 Walt Disney Productions live action family film [[Candleshoe]]. Sadly, it the crossing was the location of a fatal [[Accidents | accident ]] in January 1994 where a locomotive struck a van negotiating the crossing. An inquest in May recorded a verdict of 'accidental death' with no blame attached to the Railway. The crossing is normally gated when not in use, as seen in the first photograph.
