Framed Print of The New Bridge at Leeds, 1873. Creator: Unknown
The New Bridge at Leeds, 1873....in 1871 Mr. T. Dyne Steel, C.E. was instructed by the Corporation to carry out his design. The contract was let to Mr. David Nicholls, Mr. Butler, of Stanningley Ironworks, taking the ironwork...The new bridge is constructed entirely of wrought iron, except the face-girders and parapets, which are of cast iron; and, in place of the old bridge of five arches, we have a graceful single span across the river, built on the skew...The design of the cast-iron parapets, which are perforated, add largely to the lightness and beauty of the bridge. Embellished with suitable colouring, they have an exceedingly pleasing effect, quite in harmony with the surrounding[s]. In the centre of each parapet rises a well-designed three-light gas pillar, supplied by Allen and Co. of London...Across the bridge there are two 12-feet footways and a roadway 36 feet, paved with Mount Sorrel granite - making a total width between the parapets of 60 feet. The old bridge was only 33 feet...The whole work, including approaches, will cost about £50, 000. The bridge has been completed under the superintendence of Mr. Dyne Steel, M.I.C.E. the designer of the bridge; Mr. W. H. Barlow, F.R.S. of Westminster, being the consulting engineer'.
