II
Swing bridge. Dated 1838. Cast-iron and granite. Two equal halves of 4 cross-braced ribs spanned by a timber walkway forming a segmental arch; the outer ribs have a dated key, with "HORSLEY IRONWORKS/NEAR BIRMINGHAM" cast on the sides. Abutments projecting each side with banded rustication support each bridge on bearings, with a cogged wheel, manually turned by handles.
HISTORY: a very similar design to the c1835 swing bridge in the Royal William Victualling Yard (qv). Part of a good group of C18 and C19 naval dock buildings.
