Description
Hunningham Railway Bridge is a road bridge over a railway line, built between 1849 and 1850. It was designed by W. T. Doyne, with the ironwork produced by Messrs. Smith, Smith and Jarnes of Leamington for the London and North Western Railway. The bridge features two 156-foot wrought-iron lattice girders, which are connected by wrought-iron transverse girders and covered with galvanised corrugated iron. The structure contains a concrete and metalled carriageway and is supported by brick abutments with stone dressings. The bridge has a slight camber and, in the late 19th century, it was reinforced at the center with four lattice columns, horizontal lattice bracing girders, and diagonal tensioned tie-bars. It has a clear span of 150 feet, which was a world record at the time of its construction for a bridge of this type. The bridge spans the Rugby to Leamington line, which is now disused.
