MIDLAND COUNTIES RAILWAY.

CHARLES VIGNOLES , Esq., Engineer .

Plate 54.—Plans and Elevation of the bridge over the River Soad, atStamford. *

Plate 55.—Ditto, Details of the iron piles, girders, &c.

This bridge is constructed principally of cast-iron, and forms a very interest-ing subject, being almost an imitation of the timber pile bridges in commonuse for crossing rivers; and we believe it is the first instance of the application ofiron piles for such a purpose.

* This bridge was designed by T. J. Woodhouse, Esq., the Resident Engineer.
