What is recorded here

Single-arch road bridge over railway, c.1915. Three-centred arch with dressed voussoir stones. Coursed limestone parapets with granite coping at road level. Coursed limestone retaining walls either side of bridge. Long embankments to each approach to bridge with walls of limestone rubble having vertically set stone coping.

This handsome road bridge is an integral part of the railway network, built to a standard design with well-executed stonework and a graceful arch. The embankment approaches necessitated by the level ground in the vicinity make this a very prominent feature in the landscape.
