Albert Edward Bridge
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Albert Edward Bridge is a railway bridge spanning the river Severn at Coalbrookdale in Shropshire, England. Completed in 1864 its design is almost identical to Victoria Bridge which carries the Severn Valley Railway over the Severn between Arley and Bewdley in Worcestershire. It carries the freight only railway line between Lightmoor junction and Ironbridge Power Station. Its design and construction is attributed to John Fowler. The moulds for the radiused beam castings for the bridge were prepared by Thomas Parker at the Coalbrookdale Iron Company.
It is thought the Telford Steam Railway have aspirations to run trains over the bridge as part of their southern extension to Buildwas.
