Background
History
today.]] The bridge was built to carry the plateway which brought coal from the Madeley Colliery to the Blists Hill furnaces. It replaced a timber trestle viaduct built when the London and North Western Railway's Coalport branch line was constructed. On the far side of the bridge from Blists Hill was an inclined plane known as Bagley's Wind, which still survives in part as a brick pathway.
