Romiley Railway Bridge


Romiley Station was opened 1862 by the Manchester, Sheffield & Lincolnshire Railway (MS&LR). The bridge, onto which the platforms extend, crosses the B6104.

The bridge carries a height restriction sign and (in case of someone not knowing the height of their vehicle) an emergency sign.

    The view from the top is cool, but I think the structure of intersecting ironwork is amazing - built the old fashioned way.

    Looks like the sign is wrong to me,, schoolboy error 4.4m isn't 14' 9" it's actually 14'5" watch out truck drivers BEWARE

      As someone else on another forum has remarked "Surely the original clearance was in Imperial units, i.e. 14' 9". Converted to metric it is 4.49m, but in this context it is obviously necessary to round down to 4.4m. 4.5m is only a tiny bit more than 14' 9", but the authorities would not take the risk."
