From Graces Guide
1930 Description of the old wooden bridge and its steel replacement. The new bridge was constructed by the Horseley Bridge and Engineering Co[1] of Tipton, from designs by George Ellson, of the Southern Railway. The old bridge was constructed in 1892-3 from the designs of James Brady, Chief Engineer to the South Eastern Railway. It consisted of three main girders of pitch pine, heavily braced, and with cross girders and cover plates of steel. The centre towers, supporting the round steel suspension rods, were added later as the rolling stock became heavier.[2]
