Royal Albert Bridge, Saltash, Cornwall. After 1859
A view from the St Budeaux side of the Tamar river of the Royal Albert Bridge and Saltash. Queen Victorias consort Prince Albert opened the single broad gauge track bridge over the River Tamar, thus linking Cornwall with the Great Western system, on the 2nd May 1859. Isambard Kingdom Brunels bridge consists of two 450ft arched tubular spans which meet in mid river on four cast iron columns secured to a central underwater pier. The spans were high enough to give the Royal Navys tall ships clear heading. Hand coloured slide from the Tour Through Cornwall No 1, D. Noakes and Son, London. Hand-coloured slide
