There are in fact 3 bridges here - Known locally as Three Bridges,
it was part of the last railway project engineered by Isambard
Kingdom Brunel.
Work began in 1856 to carry both a road
(Windmill Lane) and the canal over the Great Western and Brentford
Railway in a deep cutting at the same point; so that the line of the
railway would avoid violating Osterley Park.
The principle
design features of the bridge are a central brick pier supporting
large metal beams which surround the canal in an 8 ft deep cast iron
trough and vertical girders and side walls with arches which support
the road. [from waterscape.com]
