Question: How did a wrought iron bridge manage to catch fire? 203.87.74.230 (talk) 01:18, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

It was laid with wooden sleepers which had been steeped in tar to preserve them and the tubular bridge was coated in soot from passing locomotives. Reputedly there was also a lot of litter and other flammable debris in there Velela (talk) 09:18, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
