Carlisle Bridge, Lancaster

About

The Carlisle Bridge is a railway bridge over the River Lune in Lancaster, north-west England. It carries the West Coast Main Line over three 120-foot (37 m) spans. This section of the railway, including the original version of the bridge, was the work of Thomas Brassey, William Mackenzie, and John Stephenson; it was built between 1844 and 1846 and opened in 1847. There is a walkway for public use attached to the east side of the bridge.
