Severn Railway Bridge

Weirdoldhattie:

'''To Lydney''': [[Severn Bridge Station]]
 '''To Sharpness''': [[Sharpness]]
== History ==
Work began in [[1875]] with the foundation stone of the first pier laid on 4th June by the chairman of the Severn Bridge Railway, Mr Lucy.The work was completed in [[1879]].

The bridge was 4,162 foot (1,268 m) long, and 70 foot (21.3 m) above high water. The contractors for the construction of the metal portions of the bridge were Messrs. Hamilton's Windsor Iron Company of Liverpool, who also built [[w:Clevedon Pier|Clevedon Pier]]. The contractors for the railway and masonry portion of the bridge were Messrs. Vickers and Cook, London.

On 25 October [[1960]], two barges, the Arkendale and the Wastdale, collided in heavy fog with one of the columns of the bridge, causing two spans to collapse. Part of the structure hit the barges, which were carrying petrol, setting fire to them. In addition, a 12 inch gas main which crossed the bridge from Sharpness to Lydney was also severed. Five people died in the incident. The bridge was deemed to be damaged beyond economic repair and was eventually dismantled in [[1970]], although several of the stone piers remain.

Image:Severn Railway Bridge3.jpg|The bridge was designed with a portion that could swing to allow larger boats passage along the canal. This is the pivot. The swinging section of bridge was built by Hamilton's Windsor Iron Works of Liverpool, who also built Clevedon Pier.
