The Royal Albert Bridge, Saltash, Cornwall. Early 1900s

A view from the St Budeaux side of the Tamar river of the Royal Albert Bridge and Saltash. Queen Victorias consort Prince Albert opened the single broad gauge track bridge over the River Tamar, thus linking Cornwall with the Great Western system, on the 2nd May 1859. Two 450ft arched tubular spans met in mid river on four cast iron columns secured to a central underwater pier. Spans were high enough to give the Royal Navys tall ships clear heading. Visible in the foreground is the top of London South Western Railway cutting of their line from Devonport (Kings Road) to London, Waterloo via Oakhampton and Exeter. The Saltash Ferry or floating bridge can be seen leaving or arriving at the Saltash slip under the Royal Albert Bridge. The ferry service closed on 23rd October 1961 after over 700 years of service
