What is recorded here

Single-arch rock-faced limestone railway bridge with brick dressings to the arch, built c.1850. The bridge carries the road over the former railway track which is now disused.
The contrasting masonry treatment and the brick dressings adds textural interest to the railway bridge. The robust rustication of the walls is clearly executed by skilled craftsmen. This bridge forms part of a group with the related railway structures along this disused line.
