Description
Former railway accommodation underbridge by George Stephenson for the Stockton & Darlington Railway in 1824, widened in 1830 and the late C19. Since 2008, this has been used as a pedestrian subway beneath the B6279 road.
MATERIALS: ashlar sandstone with cream-coloured machine-made brick.
DESCRIPTION: the bridge’s north and south sides are effectively matching having plain ashlar spandrels and curving wing-walls capped by flat coping slabs. The arch is semi-circular, formed with four rings of brickwork, this brickwork forming the barrel vault of the late C19 widening of the bridge. The original bridge and the 1830 widening have stone ashlar barrel vaults of the same dimensions as the later extensions. The butt-joints between the widenings can be clearly seen.
