Victoria Bridge, Arley

The Victoria Bridge carries the single track of the Severn Valley Railway across the River Severn about ½ mile south of Arley Station in Worcestershire. With a span of 200ft it was the largest cast iron arch span in Britain at the time of its completion in 1861. Now Grade II* (see Link ) listed it is arguably the most imposing engineering structure on any of the c550 miles of track of the heritage railway movement in Britain.
