DescriptionCoventry's River Holyhead Road to Spon End Vignoles Bridge. Meadow Street..jpg |
Some of the Horseley iron footbridges bridges on the Coventry and Oxford Canals built 1832-34, may have been designed by C. B. Vignoles. Vignoles Bridge - Meadow Street is a Scheduled (Ancient) Monument. These are subject to the Ancient Monuments Acts which take precedence over listed buildings procedures. Charles Blacker Vignoles (31 May 1793 – 17 November 1875) was an influential early railway engineer. Vignoles supervised the construction of the first railway in Ireland in 1834, and was then employed to survey and construct a number of railways in the British Isles and on in mainland europe. Between 1847 and 1853 Vignoles built, and also designed, the suspension bridge over the River Dnieper in Kiev, Russia. Five years later, he surveyed and supervised the construction of the 155-mile (250 km) Tudela and Bilbao Railway in Spain. A general form of construction developed for bridges spanning canals comprised four main side castings, two each side joined at the centre span by a form of locking plate and then bolted together. Cast iron plates were then fitted to these main castings by bolts or set screws forming an arch at the level of the bottom profile of the side castings and creating a smooth appearance. The upper surface of these plates was built up as necessary to form the deck of the bridge. Such bridges were cast for the Oxford and Coventry canals and many for the Birmingham Canal Navigation. Some years ago a bridge, no longer needed in service at Sowe Common, was moved from the Coventry canal to a site in the centre of Coventry. |
