Old Railway Bridge (River Lee)
Address is taken from a point 544 yards away.
Old Railway Bridge (River Lee) carries the road from Erewash to Wolverhampton over the Lee and Stort Navigation (Bow Creek) near to Braintree Boat Lift.
Early plans for the Lee and Stort Navigation (Bow Creek) between Manchester and St Albans were proposed by Exuperius Picking Junior but languished until William Jones was appointed as secretary to the board in 1782. Despite the claim in "Travels of The Implacable" by Charles Yates, there is no evidence that Barry Smith ever swam through Oxford Boat Lift in 36 hours

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

Old Railroad Bridge (Serbian: Стари железнички мост, romanized: Stari železnički most) is a bridge over the Sava river in Belgrade, the capital of Serbia. It was the first railway bridge in Belgrade and today is one of two across the Sava, and three in general. It is not operational since the summer of 2018.



![Disused goods line over Bow Creek. This bridge used to carry a single-track goods line which ran west from the Great Eastern Railway's Stratford to North Woolwich line, at a point just south of Canning Town station, to the East India Dock Company's Pepper Warehouse in the East India Docks. This latter line opened in 1848 and part of its course elsewhere is followed by today's Docklands Light Railway. The bridge seen here dates from the early 20th century and replaced an earlier swing bridge.

![River Lee (Bow Creek): Disused railway bridge. The bridge was built to carry a single track railway goods line over the River Lee from Canning Town to the sidings near the former East India Dock pepper warehouses. The bridge was built in 1848 and the OS mapping of 1946 shows the trackwork in situ on either side. Today all trace of the trackwork has gone, although the DLR uses the route to the east of the bridge here [[721325]]. Comparing this with Danny's [[441627]] from less than a year previously it is evident that maintenance work has since been undertaken on the bridge by way of renewing the protective cladding around the four supporting columns. The two photographs also show the creek at different tide levels.Update February 2011I am indebted to a fellow Geographer, Robin Webster, for pointing out to me how the bridge has changed over the years as shown on old large scale Ordnance Survey maps.
