7/79 Bridge over railway c.150 metres south west of Turton Tower - GV II
Bridge across railway cutting for Blackburn, Darwen and Bolton Railway, 1847-8. Resident Engineer, Terence Flanagan. Rock-faced and ashlared gritstone. Medieval style: 4-centred arch with piers to the walls at the west end carried above the parapet in ashlar as rectangular machicolated turrets, that on the south side with a viewing deck approached by steps protected by a stepped parapet. Ashlar parapets, stepped above the centre of the arch, are pierced by cross-shaped arrow slits, terminate with polygonal pseudo- turrets to the outer faces, and each has another pseudo-turret corbelled on the outer face with its machicolated cap resting on the coping. This bridge is the more elaborate of a pair of bridges built under the terms of agreement with James Kay of Turton Tower (q.v.) who was a director of the Blackburn, Darwen and Bolton Railway Company.
