Description

The road bridge over Broomside Cutting was built in 1848 for the Great North of England Railway. It is constructed of rock-faced sandstone with ashlar dressings and features a parapet. Below the segmental arch, there is an impost band with stepped voussoirs, and the bridge is flanked by battered abutments. A band at road-bed level continues around shallow pilasters that flank the arch and rises to rectangular piers at the ends of the swept parapet. The bridge is topped with corniced low gabled coping that is hipped on the piers.
