Thorp Arch railway bridgeFormerly part of the Harrogate - Church Fenton Railway Line, it was not connected to anything after the railway line was decommissioned. It could therefore not be used as a crossing at that time. However, in 2018 it was renovated and re-opened as part of a new housing development.[2] Thorp Arch Trading Estate
