Archaeology Notes

NX19NE 175 18469 98281

Not to be confused with railway viaduct at NX 19014 98539, for which see NX19NE 139.

Not to be confused with former railway bridge (on the same branch line) at NX 18876 98542, for which see NX19NE 178.

This railway bridge is indicated on the OS (GIS) map, ep. 2, but is not indicated on the current edition of the OS (GIS) AIB, and apparently no longer exists. It was situated to the N of Newton Kennedy Bridge (NX19NE 176) and allowed access from the Old Station (NX19NE 174) to the NE side of the harbour NX19NE 75.

The location assigned to this record indicates the apparent midpoint of the structure. The available map evidence indicates that it extended from NX c. 18442 98266 to NX c. 18494 98295.

Information from RCAHMS (RJCM), 27 June 2006.
