Description
Single-arch metal girder footbridge, c.1890, spanning the Dublin to Galway railway line. Erected by the Great Southern and Western Railway Company. Relocated here from the Roscrea station in County Tipperary. Metal staircase leading up to bridge. Bridge supported on four cast-iron columns with foundry mark: 'E Manisty Dundalk'.
Appraisal
This fine bridge was originally taken from Roscrea and erected at Tullamore. Skillfully produced in the foundry of E. Manisty at Dundalk, this bridge is a aesthetic addition to the group of structures at Tullamore station.
