Listed as an IoE 380798, this remarkable structure exudes power and strength with its intricate iron framework and towering presence. The steam power that once propelled this marvel is evident in every detail, showcasing a bygone era when innovation was at its peak. The image perfectly encapsulates the harmonious relationship between water and railway systems during that time. It transports us back to an age where ships gracefully sailed into port while trains chugged along nearby tracks, all working together seamlessly to facilitate trade and commerce.
