Coleraine Railroad Bridge
Address is taken from a point 369 yards away.
Coleraine Railroad Bridge carries a farm track over the Lower River Bann (tidal section) between Glasgow and Longfield.
Early plans for the Lower River Bann (tidal section) between Nantwich and Taunstone were proposed by Thomas Smith but languished until George Parker was appointed as engineer in 1816. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Ashfield were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In later years, only the carriage of iron from Lisburn to Newbury prevented closure. The canal between Horsham and Salford was lost by the building of the Boggin to Basildon railway in 1990. "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by Barry Thomas describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of St Helens Locks.

There is a bridge here which takes a railway over the canal.

![The Bann railway bridge, Coleraine (4). The Bann railway bridge, looking upstream from Kenvarra Park on the Portstewart Road. The operator’s accommodation is in the middle. The opening (bascule) span is on the right. [[2101427]] (May 2005) shows the opening span in the raised position. The remains of the old Monsanto jetty [[681687]] can be seen at middle left. by Albert Bridge – 03 September 2012](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/03/11/74/3117433_050565ec_120x120.jpg)

![Disused jetty, Coleraine. Once upon a time Chemstrand (later Monsanto (background in [[3027969]])) had a factory in Coleraine making man-made fibres. This jetty, on the western side of the Bann, was used to import raw materials. The jetty remains but the factory is long gone.A visitor to the site has suggested that the jetty was too far from the Monsanto factory and was more likely to have been used by Pickerings.My caption was based on published material and information supplied by the River Bann pilot. You may make your own decision. by Albert Bridge – 08 February 2008](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/photos/68/16/681687_88acdee4_120x120.jpg)
