Well done Pete, it is indeed the bridge over Vigo Hill.
There was a large house, Trosley Towers, built in the late 1800s and this connected the house to other parts of the estate, now Trosley Country Park.
The house was demolished in 1936.
Trosley is, of course, the correct local pronunciation of Trottiscliffe.

Vigo Hill/Pilgrims Way/Taylors La  Trottiscliffe?

Found it but I'll hold fire for a while.  Good one JohnFilmer

Interesting place JW.
I had a nice spot lined up, but for some reason when I try to screenshot GSV I have got either a blank white image, or a blank black one. After a few tries and a full reboot, I still got the same result. Time to finally get out with the camera I think.

So back to a map based one. This from a 25inch to the mile OS from 1896. The bridge over the lane is still there, but where?
