What is recorded here
Bridge in Castleconway, between Castleconway and Clooncarrig, once carried trains; now its great iron spans carry people out for a stroll. Like hiring a prize bull to pull your slippers across the bedroom.
Five-span rock-hewn limestone-built railway viaduct over river, opened 1885, comprising single-arch sections to east and to west with limestone and red brick voussoirs and three-span section to centre with bow-string cast-iron girders on tapered limestone piers. Designed by S.G. Frazier. Repaired in 1950. Closed in 1960. Renovated in 1993, to accommodate use as footbridge. Spans two townlands.
