    Single-span bascule bridge over canal dock, installed 1939-41. Now fixed. Sited spanning Spencer Dock with pair of reclaimed rope twist-detailed cut-limestone panels 1873.

    The structure unique of its kind in these islands' (The Irish Times 17th October 1941) representing an important component of the civil engineering heritage of Dublin: meanwhile, a pair of reclaimed panels carrying the emblem of the Midland Great Western Railway of Ireland remember the earlier James Price (1831-95)-designed Spencer Swivel Bridge (1873) which itself was pioneering as the first mechanical crossing over Spencer Dock (Irish Builder 1st April 1873, 89).

    These bridges serve as functional links and historical relics of Dublin's engineering. Their timeless allure captures the appreciation of industrial design enthusiasts. 🌉🏗️
