taken 12 years ago, near to Hunningham, Warwickshire, England

Marton Junction High Bridge
Marton Junction High Bridge
Just west of Marton junction on the dismantled Leamington Spa to Rugby railway line is this single-span wrought-iron trussed lattice girder bridge to carry Ridgeway Lane over the railway. It is approximately 60' (18 metres) high. At the time it was built (1851) this was the longest such bridge ever constructed. In later years, four lattice columns and cross-ties were added to reinforce the original structure. LinkExternal link
