LYDNEY CHURCH ROAD (east side) Pedestrian Bridge over disused rail line, c75 metres east of Church of St Mary

II

Pedestrian bridge over former railway lines. Mid C19. Cast and wrought iron, a very flat elliptical arch span to straight stair flights to quarter landings, forming a Z-plan. Ten square newels to ball finials, and two with original lanterns, later modified for electricity; landing carried on 8 slender Corinthiansque columns. 23 steps in straight flights and 6 steps to slightly bowed deck to main span, all with iron lattice balustrade and S-supports; handrail and strings from T-section iron. This a very complete survival, elegant and of great economy in engineering design. Lanterns and standards from SUN FOUNDRY. GEORGE SMITH, GLASGOW.
