Ashlar retaining walls in south embankment flank skew arch of ashlar in western part, brick arch in eastern part. Ashlar retaining walls over arches. Western arch has bracketed keystone on band; eastern arch plain. Historical note : the arches allowed the Lumley waggonway through the embankment to Low Lambton Staiths; the widening probably took place to allow an easier curve to the bridge.
