An unusual rolling railway bridge (with associated accumulator tower) built in 1883. Designed by Frank Stileman
The bridge was hydraulically operated, but the cylinders and rams were removed in 1952-3 and an associated engine house was demolished. The bridge is now fixed in position and no longer functions as a rolling bridge.
