Brushed metal plaque № 55407

This brushed metal commemorative plaque records: Crescent Bridge - The bridge was built for the Great Northern Railway at a cost of £34,000 to replace two troublesome level crossings and a subway. It was opened by the Mayoress Mrs J G Barford on 16 April 1913. The original Crescent of 1830s houses was demolished to make way for the bridge. The steelwork and main 48.7m bow string lattice span was built by Cleveland Bridge and Engineering Company of Darlington and the bridge was refurbished in 2001 by Jackson Rail. Recorded plaque organisation: Peterborough Civic Society.

Crescent Bridge, opened in 1913, replaced hazardous crossings and a subway, enhancing railway safety and connectivity; its construction by Cleveland Bridge and Engineering Company reflects early 20th-century engineering advancements.
