The Albert Edward Bridge was erected in 1863 to the design of Sir John Fowler, engineer. The cast iron single span double track railway bridge carries the railway line from Shifnal to Ironbridge Generating Station over the River Severn. The segmental arch has a span of 201 ft. Plaques on the bridge commemorate the engineer and also Messrs Brassey and Field, Contractors, and that it was cast and erected by the Coalbrookdale Company.
