The bridge took the road over the lines leading into St Paul’s high level station, which was only open to passengers from 1890 to 1917 although it continued to see some freight traffic until 1960. It was a skew bridge, i.e. not at right angles to the line below, which ran through what is now the McVitie’s site to the left.
