er well, as subject basically.

Googling was of no help, nor was my trusty London Atlas. I think it is
one of the bridges that crosses the line out of Paddington-but which
one exactly. The article I am reading refers to it as near Gloucester
terrace.


Any help gratefully recieved.

Ranelagh Place is the address of the Adelphi Hotel in Liverpool. Does
that help?

The article I am reading refers to it as near Gloucester
terrace.

If you go to streetmap.co.uk, I believe Ranelagh Bridge is one if you search
for 525949,181535 in the search box

It's marked on the map at the end of this 2.6MB PDF:

It would appear to be the A40 slip road that comes form Porchester
Terrace.

Greenwood's map of London has the area at practically the same scale but
as it was in 1827 ...

It is the bridge between Westbourne Bridge and Royal Oak station, carrying
the westbound on slip to the Westway.

It is also the correct name for Fulham Railway Bridge on the West London
Line...

Mr 'U Thant's link takes the prize, a detailed planning map that shows the
bridge 'named' unlike most atlases etc...

Thanks, but it's actually on the first page of Google hits, through I
knew to look for the detailed map at the end of those Crossrail
reports, as I'd seen them before.

As it happens, I was on a train from Paddington this afternoon. The
bridge looks Victorian and is low down, level with local roads, so
presumably it dates from long before the A40. The turn and ramp up to
the A40 look quite nasty.

Nasty in what way? The turn is no problem at 20 mph (and by the time
you get there, you'll be used to turns!), and the ramp is not
particularly steep.

Before Westway was built, the bridge used to connect with Harrow Road.
It's called Ranelagh Road on my 1956 Bartholomew street atlas.
