Title
L1167 - Iron Girder bridge near High Wycombe
Description
L1167 - Iron girder bridge over a steep sided cutting on the newly completed railway near High Wycombe, captured by S. W. A. Newton sometime around 1905. The bridge would be of a fairly standard pattern found all over the Great Western & Great Central Joint Railway, and on the GCR's London Extension. This example appears to be built on a gradient as the left-hand abutment is distinctly lower that the right. The permanent way has been laid and ballasted and appears ready to receive trains.
