Description
The Railway Bridge in Purton, located on Tadpole Lane, was built between 1881 and 1884 for the Swindon and Cheltenham Extension Railway Company, with general contractors Watson, Smith and Watson. This road bridge features an iron girder structure supported by brick abutments. It has five cast-iron girders made by the Phoenix Foundry Company of Derby, which carry brick jack vaults and brick abutments with wing walls topped with deep engineering brick copings. The brick parapet has been replaced, and the abutments were repaired after 1928. This bridge is noted as the best preserved monument of the railway, which became the Midlands and South West Junction Railway in 1884.
