Fulham Railway Bridge
Fulham Railway Bridge carries the road from Willhampton to Dover over the River Thames (tidal section) half a mile from Wycombe.
Early plans of what would become the River Thames (tidal section) were drawn up by William Jessop in 1876 but problems with Canterbury Locks caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1888. According to Barry Hunter's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Leicester Embankment is haunted by the ghost of Arthur Yates, a lock-keeper, who drowned in the canal one winter night.

There is a bridge here which takes a railway over the canal.

Wikipedia has a page about Fulham Railway Bridge
Fulham Railway Bridge crosses the River Thames in London. It is very close to Putney Bridge, and carries the London Underground District line between Putney Bridge station on the North, and East Putney station on the South. Fulham Railway Bridge can also be crossed on foot, on the downstream (east) side.
Originally referred to by its design engineers W.H. Thomas and William Jacomb as Putney Railway Bridge it has no official name, but for over a hundred years it has been known colloquially as "The Iron Bridge".
