View of the original Brunel designed bridge built in 1852 as seen from the Old Warwick Road end of the High Street. Careful observation shows the LNWR bridge in-situ on the far side. The GWR bridge consisted of wrought iron plate main girders with iron cross girders and barrow rail flooring, support being afforded to the superstructure by ten substantial cast iron columns rising from the footpath below.
