Type and Period
Description
A single arch accommodation overbridge (TL 5808 4354) built with red stock brick abutments in English Bond, a three course on-edge brick arch with white brick dressings and red brick piers and splay revetments holding the banks to the north and south. The brick parapet, tops of the piers and saddle-back copings are later replacements/rebuilding.
The bridge remains in use, now providing access to farm buildings to the west of the line. The bridge is well maintained, showing few signs of spalling and areas of recent repair, particularly to the revetment walls. <1>
