4 unusual facts about Cast-iron architecture


Cast-iron architecture

One of the first important projects was The Iron Bridge in Shropshire, a precedent-setting structure made almost entirely of cast iron.

Designed by Joseph Paxton, the glass and cast iron structure was much imitated around the world.

The first use was at the Water Street terminus of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway in 1830 to a design by William Fairbairn, a successful design which was demolished about 1900 owing to the widespread concern about cast iron under bridges on the rail network in Britain.

Later designers and engineers, such as Thomas Telford, improved both the design and quality of the material in bridges (for example, at Buildwas upstream of Coalbrookdale) and aqueducts (such as the world-famous Pontcysyllte Aqueduct in North Wales).
