Description

Railway overbridge by Thomas Storey for the Stockton & Darlington Railway, 1832.

MATERIALS: rock-faced ashlar sandstone.

DESCRIPTION: the bridge has a basket arch of voussoirs with a span to accommodate a dual track railway line. There is a roll-moulded string course forming an arch ring encompassing the voussoirs, the string course merging with a second more pronounced string course that marks the base of the parapet. The parapet is finished with a triangular coping, the inner face to the parapets being smoothly dressed rather than rock-faced. The plan form of the road deck is narrow waisted, the parapets flaring outwards beyond the pilasters flanking the arch.
