Nore Viaduct, Waterford and Kilkenny Railway, 1850. Creator: Unknown

Nore Viaduct, Waterford and Kilkenny Railway, 1850. Railway bridge...which crosses the river Nore, near Thomastown [in Ireland]...has just been opened for traffic. The viaduct is 84 feet in height above the bed of the river, and the span of the arch, which is on the "lattice" principle, but ingeniously strengthened by iron ties and braces, is 200 feet...The whole of this work was designed by Captain W. Moorsom, C.E. and has been carried out from his drawings and specifications; Mr. Tarrant, of Kilkenny, being the resident engineer. The arch was erected by Messrs. Mallett, of Dublin, under contract for £3300; and the masonry was contracted for by Messrs. Hammond and Murray, of Dublin, for about £6500. This is the largest work of the kind in the three kingdoms; and its execution, entirely by Irish labour, is creditable to all parties'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850
