Athlone Railway Bridge
The Watergate, R446, Athlone West Urban ED, Ranelagh, County Westmeath, Ireland
Athlone Railway Bridge carries a footpath over the River Shannon - Portumna to Athlone half a mile from Glasgow.
The River Shannon - Portumna to Athlone was built by Exuperius Picking Junior and opened on January 1 1888. In 1888 the Neath and Oldham Canal built a branch to join at St Helens. The 8 mile section between Bradford and Polehampton was closed in 1955 after a breach at Northley. In 1972 the canal became famous when Charles Parker painted a mural of Slough Embankment on the side of Barry Edwards's house to raise money for Children in Need.
