What is recorded here

Triple-span former railway bridge, built c.1850, as part of the Cork, Blackrock and Passage Railway line and spanning the Douglas estuary. Cast-iron deck and riveted latticework parapets supported on rusticated limestone piers. Now in use as a pedestrian bridge along a public walk which follows the line of the former railway tracks.

This bridge displays a high quality of craftsmanship and survives as a reminder of the railway between Cork and Passage West which was opened in 1850. A pleasing landscape feature, it is visible from many points around the estuary in a popular public leisure area.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
