Title
Corrib Bridge, Galway
Description
A view of the railway bridge over the Corrib at Woodquay taken from the western shoreline of the river. The iron bridge is supported on limestone arched columns which are still visible in the river at the site. Two boats are moored on the western bank of the river and a quay is visible on the eastern side in the centre of the photograph. This is Steamer's Quay, so called because the steamboats which carried passengers and cargo up the Corrib had their terminus here.
