Isn't there a yonks-old bowstring bridge on a disused line somewhere
up near Penrith ?

The BBC also seems to think there's an old GCR one in Leicester:-

There's also a Great Western one apparently:-

but I'm not sure if the diagonal braces (assuming they are original)
don't take it outwith the basic spec. of a "bowstring" bridge.
