Trimpley Private Road Bridge (Bridge 14) carries the private access road from Trimpley Waterworks to Trimpley Reservoir over the railway. 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 Railway.
The reservoir was constructed in 1964 and commissioned in 1967.[1] The main farm building still stands, although its extensive gardens are mostly lost under the reservoir.[2]
During the BR era the road bridge was numbered Bridge 19. It is part of the southern section of the line bought at the end of 1972 and opened in May 1974. In summer 1974, SVRSevern Valley Railway News noted "Other events of interest on the property front are the sale of bridge No. 19 at Trimpley to Birmingham Corporation."[3]
