Title |
Entrance into Manchester across Water Street |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
English: View from the corner of Liverpool Road and Water Street of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway as it approaches Manchester Liverpool Road railway station. To the left the railway crosses the River Irwell by a two-arched stone bridge, with a cart road for the use of the Navigation company. The railway then crosses Water Street over what is considered the first modern girder bridge, created because there was insufficient space for an arch given the roadway below, but too wide a gap for a flat span using existing conventional means of the time. |
