Railway arches …… the myster

An occasional series featuring the humble railway arch through the pictures of Andy Robertson.

Now, among the collection of images Andy took was this one which presented me with a bit of a mystery, because there at the foot of the arch was this device.

I have no idea what it was used for, and so to speculate would be a waste of time.

That said I suppose it could have been left over from when the arch was used for some purpose.

The good news is that some one will know.
