Northenden Bridge carries Palatine Road over the river Mersey to the South of Manchester. I'm not certain about the age of this bridge but suspect it dates from about the turn of the 19th century give or take a decade.
This is the view from underneath the Palatine Road bridge at the M60 Manchester Orbital motorway which crosses both the river and Palatine Road on a nine-span viaduct.
This is looking from underneath the motorway. Northenden bridge can be seen on the right and the scale can be judged by looking at the pedestrians on Palatine Road crossing under the motorway on the other side.
The last view looks back at both the motorway bridge and Northenden bridge beyond it.
You can see them in the photograph on sithenah which also includes a view of the heron sculpture featured here recently.
Next week I'll show you the footbridge from which that photograph was taken.

I like all the different angles.
ReplyDeleteGreat bridge. I see the street artists have been at work. I like the white railins and inset design.
ReplyDeletewhen I saw the thumbnail, I said," Wow!!!! no graffiti, then you showed me there is on after all."
ReplyDeleteThe bridge was apparently built in 1874.
ReplyDeleteMy first thought was, what were you doing under the bridge? Then I saw the footpath. I like the pattern on the railing on the top shot.
ReplyDeleteI especially like seeing the underside of this bridge. Neat photos!
ReplyDeleteNice view from under the bridge! Not everyday we can see this side of the bridge :D
ReplyDeletecool photos. thanks for showing us the different angles.
ReplyDeleteI love all the different aspects that you shot of this bridge. That shot underneath with the pedestrians in the distance really gives us a perspective of the enormous size of this bridge! Oh, and I love some of that graffiti!
ReplyDeleteIt is interesting to see the underside of bridges ;)
