Title
L2316 - Girder bridge under construction at Aylestone, Leicester
Description
L2316 - This plate girder underbridge (bridge No. 385), seen here nearing completion, carried the Last Main Line across Braunstone Lane East, Aylestone. Note the brick wing walls have not yet been fully constructed, and the wooden boards slung beneath the bridge for the navvies to walk on. Visible beyond this structure is the road bridge that crossed the River Soar. Henry Lovatt & Co. of Wolverhampton was the contractor responsible for building this section of the Line (Contract No.2, Leake to Aylestone).
