ALBERT EDWARD RR BRIDGE near Buildwas, Shropshire 1864 HEW350 SJ659 038 (not visited)
Wenlock RR bridge carrying double line over the River Severn. Very similar to the Victoria Bridge near Arley (HEW 464) which was also designed by Sir John Fowler and cast by the Coalbrookdale Co. Single arch span with four cast iron ribs springing from brick abutments. The spandrels have vertical cast iron supports with heavy cross bracing which support the level deck. It was improved with steel beams and plates in 1933. See the Victoria Bridge at Arley also designed by Fowler and cast by the Coalbrookdale Co.
