What is recorded here
Three-arch railway bridge, built c.1850, over River Suck. Steel riveted girders carrying track deck and flanking walkways, with vertical steel parapets. Coursed hammer-dressed ashlar piers with semi-circular cutwaters supporting girders. Square-edge string course at cutwater level and mid-height of parapet. Moulded cornice above parapet level with flat coping stones.
Formally known locally as the 'Red Bridge', this solid bridge crosses the River Suck. The use of girders in place of masonry arches marks a technical advance in railway engineering while the handsome stone piers are testament to local craftsmanship.
