Gravel Lane Railway Bridges (Salford)
From Graces Guide
A bridge was built over Gravel Lane c.1844 to carry the elevated railway west of Manchester Victoria Railway Station. It was appreciably skewed, with six cast iron arch ribs.
It was one of five cast iron bridges on the line through Salford, which also included 76 brick arches. The other iron skew bridges crossed the River Irwell, Ducie Street, Chapel Street, and the Bolton and Bury Canal. Edward Woods was the Engineer, and Pauling and Henfrey were the main contractors.Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag
