The bridge was constructed by the Woodside Iron Works in Dudley, under the direction of Charles Cochrane, a leading Victorian engineer and authority of blast furnaces, whose firm was associated with many important structures, including the Holborn Viaduct, Westminster Bridge, Cannon Street Railway Bridge and Station, Charing Cross Railway Bridge and Station, and the Runcorn Bridge over the Mersey. They also removed the Hungerford Suspension Bridge over the Thames and re-erected it as the Clifton Suspension Bridge at Bristol.
