Ponte sul fiume Wye Victoria, a Hereford, Hereford, Inghilterra, Regno Unito, Da Alex Findlay & Co, Parkneuk Works, Motherwell, Lanark 1897, Mill St HR1 2NX
Alexander Findlay founded his engineering firm in 1888. The site he chose was at Milton to the north of Motherwell, on land conveniently next to the railway. The location of the Parkneuk Works also made sense because it had plenty of space, which was important because it was normal practice for steel structures to be initially assembled at the factory before being dismantled and transported to the client. People living in the north end of Motherwell would become used to seeing huge steel structures appear in the yards of both Findlay’s and the nearby Motherwell Bridge and Engineering Company. An early visitor to the Parkneuk Works was William Ewart Gladstone, former (and future) Prime Minister. - Built by Findlay of Motherwell. Concrete piers with ashlar cutwaters; semi-suspension central span; lattice-work towers and parapets; terracotta piers with cast-iron lamp columns. Erected by public subscription to mark Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria. Listing NGR: SO5125339423
