bridge

Single-span brick and cast-iron foot bridge, built 1880, for pedestrian traffic over railway tracks. Square-profile English-bond brick piers to south having limestone plat band and rusticated copings carrying straight flight cast-iron stairs with lozenge and quatrefoil motifs to risers. Painted cast-iron balusters and railings, limestone run and threshold to staircase. Bracing members and railings to parapet. Square-profile English bond brick piers with limestone caps north elevation. Cast-iron and limestone steps to north.

Interesting railway bridge which illustrates nineteenth century engineering skills. The use of brick, cast-iron and limestone combine to create a visually stimulating structure.
