Description: | A bridge over a canal, which later became a railway bridge. It was built in 1819 to 1823 for the Carlisle canal, with additions taking place in 1853-4 for the Port Carlisle Dock and Railway Company. The bridge was increased in height to convert it to a railway bridge when the canal closed. When the railway closed in 1964, wooden supports were placed under the bridge. | Subjects: | Transport (Rail) Canal Bridge Transport Parapet Railway Bridge Industry Engineering And Technology | Source: | English Heritage - Viewfinder | Creator: | Skingle, B | Identifier: | http://viewfinder.english-heritage.org.u... | Language: | en | Go to resource |
