What is recorded here
Single-span railway bridge over road, opened 1872. Part creeper- or ivy-covered red brick English Garden Wall bond walls with benchmark-inscribed rock faced hammered granite quoins to corners supporting parapets having cut-granite chamfered coping centred on reinforced riveted rolled steel girders. Sited spanning road on a corner site.
A bridge identified as an integral component of the later nineteenth-century civil engineering heritage of County Wexford on account of the connections with the extension of the Dublin, Wicklow and Wexford Railway (DWWR) line opened (1872) by the Dublin, Wicklow and Wexford Railway (DWWR) Company: meanwhile, a benchmark remains of additional interest for the connections with cartography and the preparation of maps by the Ordnance Survey (established 1824).
