What is recorded here

Single-arch stone railway bridge, built c.1890, carrying road over railway. Segmental arch having rusticated voussoirs. Pier buttresses and cut stone string course. Rusticated coursed stone walls and cut stone coping to parapets.
Well constructed stone bridge, showing evidence of skilled stonemasonry and engineering. While no longer in use it once served as important infrastructure to McKee Barracks (formerly Marlborough Barracks, built c.1890). It is located on a central axis to the main barracks building making a strong connection between the barracks forecourt and the local streetscape. The rusticated stonework gives an impression of strength and durability.
