This category is for websites about the iron railway bridge dedicated to Victoria's Prince Albert, designed by I K Brunel, and opened just before his death 1859.
It was designed to span the tidal estuary of the Tamar, providing a 30m. clearance at high tide for naval ships.
The design predates the Through Arch types, since the wrought iron arch starts after beams on multiple stone pillar approaches, and the deck is kept level throughout with support of a single tubular arch, rising over the level deck throughout the span.
The bridge is also known as Saltash Bridge, since from Plymouth the first station on the west bank, and town is Saltash in Cornwall.
