SHREWSBURY STATION RR BRIDGE 1848 Robert Stephenson N52o 42' 40.5" W2o 44' 53.0"
This bridge also contains part of the station and carries the track for the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway over the River Severn. Robert Stephenson's design was for stone viaduct, four of whose seven arches spanned the river. In 1903 the stone viaduct was supplemented by steel girders to include more track and a portion of the station. The girder trusses are riveted together, rather than welded and they rest on cast iron columns in mid-stream.
