GWR Route: North Warwickshire Line
GWR Route: Banbury to Wolverhampton
Bordesley Viaduct: gwrbg1655
Removal of subsidiary brick arches from the supporting piers
during the partial reconstruction of Bordesley Viaduct in 1939. The work force
used pneumatic drills and other labour saving machinery to minimise the weekend
occupations on this important route. After the subsidiary arch brick work was
removed each of the pier tops were levelled and prepared for bridging with
reinforced pre-cast concrete slabs.
