You are being a bit of a tease here Halfie.
Im still with the BCN and this photo is looking down at a low arch with murky water flowing close beneath it - which makes it some kind of bridge over a sluice. Then there d the number inscribed 1166...
No idea!
and that looks like YDS after the 1166 which would suggest it's a tunnel rather than a bridge. And as you were around the Crick area, tunnels closest are Crick and Husbands Bosworth. And Husbands Bosworth Tunnel is 1166 yards long.... - ok, I have to admit I had to look that last bit up!
Flingel, yup, you've got it.
I'm just going to publish the full picture.
