bridge, Cobh

Single-arch limestone bridge, built 1862, carrying road over Cork/Cobh railway line. Coursed rubble stone walls with rusticated stone stringcourse and rubble stone copings to parapet walls. Elliptical arch with rusticated voussoirs.

The railway bridge is solidly constructed with roughly dressed limestone masonry walls. The dressings are well carved and are clearly the work of skilled craftsmen. It serves as a reminder of the quality of the engineering and local craftsmen's skills in the mid nineteenth century.
