Brunel's Duddeston Viaduct was never used but had to be completed despite the line terminating at Snow Hill as the 1844 Act of Parliament required this condition. Initially the opening was delayed because the Board of Trade Inspector Captain Galton noted that not all the bridges were completed so it is likely that Brunel instructed his engineers to "put up" whatever could be salvaged from elsewhere. The picture shows the iron columns that supported a timber structure in the Birmingham Corporation's Salvage Yard off Montague Street with period electric dustcarts. The second picture is clipped from a larger engraving by Thomas Sulman which appeared in the London Illustrated News showing the same bridge shortly after the line's opening. It is likely the structures which appear similar to those found on the Cornwall railways were removed shortly afterwards leaving the visible gaps at Liverpool Street, Great Barr Street and Montague Street.

The Gay-Lussac tower at Henry Judson's Chemical Works was an essential part of producing Sulphuric acid which was used extensively in the metal industries that grew up around Deritend. Judson's were one of the first patentee's of Gay-Lussac's manufacturing method in the UK. The wooden lead lined evaporation chambers pre-existed Brunel's 1852 Duddeston Viaduct and he was required to build his arches around the existing structure as can be seen today from the iron column supported spans in Cerro's yard in Liverpool Street. Crossing from one arch to another is a smaller arch which must have allowed a pipe to pass.
