What is recorded here

Bridge in Garroman has Joseph Westwood & Co.’s name stamped on its girder, though the trains have stopped coming. There’s a contractor’s dream: the entire railway gives up before your work does. You’d be unbearable at dinner.

Single-span cast-iron girder railway bridge, dated 1893, over Abhainn Bhéal na Cora [Bealnacarra River]. Limestone block piers with limestone and recent concrete block copings supporting riveted wrought and cast-iron girder bridge with riveted parapet wall having maker's mark to girder in south elevation. Recent wrought-iron railing and gates to west elevation. Rubble-stone and earth abutments to east and west.
This example of late nineteenth-century engineering was erected for the Midland Great Western Railway Company and is part of the defunct Galway to Clifden branch. The structure was made by Joseph Westwood & Co. Engineers and Contractors, London. The bridge has been well maintained and is in good structural condition.
