Black Potts Railway Bridge, Railway bridge in Windsor, England.
The iron bridge spans across the River Thames, connecting London Waterloo to Windsor through a critical railway transportation route.
Constructed in 1850, the bridge faced initial challenges when one of its piers collapsed just before the scheduled inspection date.
The structure represents mid-19th century British industrial engineering, with its original cast-iron ribs later replaced by wrought iron girders.
The bridge stands at 5.94 meters high and relies on Black Potts Ait, a tree-covered triangular island, for central support.
Located between Old Windsor Lock and Romney Lock, this railway bridge serves as the final crossing before trains reach Windsor and Eton Riverside station.
