Summary
DescriptionThe Three Bridges - geograph.org.uk - 1183859.jpg |
English: The Three Bridges
The lower pale blue cast-iron trough carries the canal over the railway track. The upper, narrower, pale blue cast-iron trough carries the towing path.
The correct name for it should be Windmill Bridge - named after the Southall Mill, which stood on the south-western side of the original canal bridge which was first built in the 1790's when the canal was cut. J.M.W. Turner painted this windmill in 1806. File:Joseph_Mallord_William_Turner_014.jpg Known locally as The Three Bridges, the name is a misnomer as there are in fact only two bridges - the road bridge over the canal and the canal bridge over the railway. The canal is conveyed through an 8 ft cast-iron trough over the railway, with the road on a brick & cast-iron girder bridge above. The Three Bridges was constructed as a result of the Brentford Branch line being built to connect the Great Western Railway at Southall to the docks at Brentford. Which was opened in July 1859. Brunel chose the location for the Three Bridges intersection where the canal was already crossed by Windmill Lane. The Three Bridges has been designated a Scheduled Ancient Monument by English Heritage. There is a 3 ton weight and 6' 6" width restrictions on the road bridge. |
