Can anyone pinpoint the bridge on which the people are standing in this drawing please ? It’s labelled “General View of Birmingham”. Viv.

Is it be a real view or bit of artistic license? Looking at the other rail line in the distance coming from the right makes me think the view is down the line to Moor St and the one in the distance is going to New St. But is the picture too early for that?
 
In the middle distance it looks like Curzon Street which would make the line outbound
toward Adderley Park.

The viaduct to the far right might be the line towards Vauxhall maybe or is it too early?
