NT 2570 7559 A Level 1 photographic survey was conducted in June 2008 to record the Powderhall Bailey Bridge prior to its demolition and replacement by a new walkway. The bridge was a 3-section Bailey Bridge of standard modular design. It was 52m in length with three 4m wide spanning sections. The bridge was supported on two iron piers and was 8.04m above the Water of Leith. Examination of archive material
including photographs taken at the time of construction confirmed that the bridge is of standard Bailey format. The bridge had undergone minor episodes of repair since it was first constructed in 1948.
