EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Hunderton Railway Bridge in Hereford, located in the picturesque County of Herefordshire. The image captures the underside of this historic bridge as it gracefully spans across the River Wye. Originally opened in 1853, this architectural marvel served as a vital link for the Newport, Abergavenny and Hereford Railway's line into Hereford. The striking iron frame and elegant arches of this bridge stand as a testament to its enduring beauty and engineering prowess. Today, it has been repurposed to carry the Great Western Way cycleway, seamlessly connecting Redhill - a charming suburb nestled in Hereford's southwestern region - with the bustling city centre. As we gaze upon this photograph from Historic England Archive, we are transported back in time to an era when steam locomotives traversed these tracks regularly. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia while also reminding us of how infrastructure can be adapted and preserved for future generations. Let us appreciate not only the visual splendor captured within this print but also reflect on how such structures contribute to our shared history and cultural heritage.
