the 13 arches viaduct in bristol

This one was taken from the hill on the north/east side of Muller Road. This was taken a few days/weeks before it was demolished, the preparation work for demolition was under way, you can see the ballast from the bridge piled up on the embankments on both sides of the bridge.

Scroll to the bottom of this page to see what this view looks like today.
