Docks Branch No. 3 viaduct, Gloucester
This viaduct once carried the GWR branch from Over to Llanthony Docks. The branch was built to carry double broad gauge track in 1854 (converted in 1872 to standard gauge). This bridge, which was once a swing bridge, only ever carried single track. One thing not apparent in this view is that the track is still in place on the bridge, despite it being 25 years or so (at least) since the last train crossed.

Under the docks branch viaduct, Gloucester
This view shows the steel viaduct piers, now in poor condition after 25 years or so with no maintenance. These replaced the original wooden piers when the viaduct was rebuilt in 1910.

Docks branch viaduct at Glouceter showing former footbridge
Shot from directly underneath, this shows the parlous state of the old footbridge. Hidden by the steel bridge pier to the left of centre is the remains of the swinging mechanism, last operated in 1922.

Gloucester Docks Branch No.3 viaduct: a closer view
Here you can see the footbridge, added to the viaduct in 1941 to give access to a nearby power station, now long gone. There's no decking on the viaduct or its footbridge and it would be foolhardy in the extreme to go clambering about on the structure for the sake of getting some interesting photographs. You'd have to do battle with some pretty dense vegetation too, including the Himalayan Balsam prominent in the foreground of this shot.
