Description
This accommodation arch, likely built between 1832 and 1834 by T.E. Harrison, who was a consultant engineer for R. Stephenson, was constructed for the Stanhope and Tyne Railroad Company. It is made of irregular courses of squared sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings. The arch is tall and round, featuring voussoirs beneath a parapet with block coping. On either side, there are flanking retaining walls that have plain flat coping and end in low rectangular piers. The embankment that this arch supported previously connected to the Hownes Gill incline, which was replaced by a viaduct in 1858.
