This bridge - still there today but now infilled from the far side - carried Victoria Street over the line from Wednesbury Town to Darlaston. Originally a passenger service operated over the line, but this lasted only until 1887, after which date the line was used solely for freight traffic. It mostly served Patent Shaft steelworks which were near here. I worked for a while for a road haulage company which was based in the old goods yard and shed, and this bridge was used as our garage!
