Description
The accommodation bridge, located 60 metres south of the East Lodge to Blenkinsopp Hall, was built around 1838, possibly by Benjamin Green for the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway Company. It is constructed from dressed, tooled-and-margined sandstone and features a castellated style. The bridge has a segmental archway with rusticated voussoirs and an embattled parapet above a string course. There is a sunk blank panel in the higher central merlon of the parapet. Tall, narrow octagonal-plan towers flank the arch, each topped with embattled turrets above a string course. The flanking quadrant-plan retaining walls have flat coping and are ramped down to three-stage, octagonal-plan end piers. The rear elevation is identical to the front. The east drive to Blenkinsopp Hall passes through the bridge under the railway embankment.
