What is recorded here
Single-arch rock-faced limestone railway bridge, built c.1860, skewed to carry roadway over railway tracks. Elliptical arching comprising diagonally-laid squared snecked limestone over rock-faced walling and with dressed limestone coping to rock-faced parapets.
This railway bridge forms part of a visually and historically interesting group including bridge, signal box, and platform. The masonry treatment of the railway bridge adds textural interest to the site. The masonry work to the intrados is laid diagonally above the springing point of the arch, and was clearly executed by skilled craftsmen.
