Midland Bridge or Destructor Bridge (Bath)

United Kingdom / England / Bath

The iron truss bridge was built in the 1870′s for the Midland Railway, hence the name, providing road access to its terminus at Green Park Station.
It was found to be unsuitable for the company's purpose and was then sold and moved to its present site.
It was nick-named "Destructor bridge" as it linked the recycling yard to a giant incinerator known as a destructor on the other side of the river.
It is due to be demolished and replaced in the near future
