Description
This bridge, located approximately 170 metres northwest of Turton Tower, was built between 1847 and 1848 to cross a railway cutting for the Blackburn, Darwen and Bolton Railway. The resident engineer for the project was Terence Flanagan. Constructed from rock-faced gritstone with ashlar ornamentation, the bridge features a medieval style with a four-centred arch, decorative bands, a sloped deck, and parapets. At the west end, there are corbelled cylindrical machicolated turrets that rise through the parapet. This bridge is less elaborate than another bridge built as part of the same project, which was under an agreement with James Kay of Turton Tower, a director of the Blackburn, Darwen and Bolton Railway Company.
