What is recorded here

Single-arch limestone railway bridge, built 1848, carrying road traffic over railway tracks. Elliptical-headed arch with rusticated voussoirs, soffit and walling. Cut-stone impost, string course and coping to each side. Battered snecked dressed stone abutments with alternating cut-stone blocks to copings.

The textural interest of this bridge is provided by several different treatments of limestone - snecked ashlar, rusticated voussoirs, and alternating coping stones. This apparently simple single-arch bridge has sophisticated coursed rusticated ashlar masonry to its soffit.
