That bridge was here (circled) just west of the Yough river, north of the town of Dunbar. According to the historical society in Dunbar, there were seven railroads through town at once at one time. It was quite the hub of activity in the beehive coke era. Did you know they constructed an authentic beehive coke oven in town as a monument a few years aog? It is made from new old-stock refractory bricks from the area.
