The original Midland Bridge was constructed in 1870 to provide access to the station at Green Park, which was part of the newly completed Somerset and Dorset Railway Bath extension line. It was later found to be inadequate and was replaced in 1905. The original bridge was re-used to provide a link between the old 'scavenger's yard' and the new 'Destructor' incinerator across the river.
