EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the magnificent Chepstow Rail Bridge in all its Victorian glory. Designed by the legendary Isambard Kingdom Brunel and completed in 1852, this engineering marvel was also known as the Great Tubular Bridge. The eastern section of the bridge is showcased here, viewed from a north-west perspective, with a train gracefully traversing its length. Located in Tidenham within the enchanting Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, this suspension railway bridge stands as a testament to human ingenuity and innovation. Its tubular iron supports were an architectural feat at the time of construction and continue to awe spectators today. Although superseded by a newer bridge built in 1962, remnants of the original structure remain intact. This photograph allows us to appreciate both its historical significance and enduring beauty. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to an era when rail transport revolutionized travel and connected communities like never before. It serves as a reminder of our rich industrial heritage and pays homage to those who paved the way for modern civil engineering. J R Uppington's skillful photography perfectly encapsulates not only the grandeur of this railway bridge but also evokes feelings of nostalgia for a bygone era.
