Ballyhemiken Bridge — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Triple-span red brick road bridge, built 1903, spanning former railway line. Square-headed arches, having coursed red brick piers with rock-faced limestone quoins. Cast-iron girder and concrete deck to flat arch, with English bond red brick parapets having tooled limestone coping stones.

A fine bridge, built to carry the road over the Carrigaline Railway line, which is particularly interesting for its use of mass produced materials, including cast-iron, concrete and red brick. Service commenced on the line on 15th June 1903, though it was not officially opened until 31st May 1904 by the Earl of Dudley, the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. The line operated for a short period of time, and was sadly closed in 1932. It is a reminder of the scale of the railway network which once criss crossed the country.
