Old Railway Swing BridgeTM4392 : Dismantled swing bridge north of BecclesTM4392 : Railway Bridge PillarTM4392 : Remains of swing bridge on the Beccles to Yarmouth line and many others!
Looking at maps on the National Library of Scotland website, it seems that between 1905 and 1926 the original bridge was replaced by a new bridge a little upstream of the original. See
1905 and
1926In both cases the double track line was singled across the bridge - presumably to keep the bridge size and cost to a minimum.
What I am unclear about is if the visible piers are those of the original bridge or of the newer bridge; does anyone know?
