Abstract:
Examination of the three study bridges indicated utilitarian sandstone piers and abutments that maintained an iron super-structure for the bridge decking. The bridges dating from the early 1860s displayed little architectural merit and apart from occasional masonry marks there were no embellishments or decoration. Erosion of the river bank illustrated that the embankment and railway line was formed from upcast clay consolidated by a clay membrane and then widened with furnace waste and gravel. The earlier timber bridges dating from 1847 were indicated by a series of driven timber piles respecting the extant piers. Flood damage in 2005 and particularly 2009 had seriously compromised these structures with three bridge abutments and one pier completely lost and two other piers severely damaged.
