Description
The Railway Viaduct, built in 1837 by J Locke for the Grand Junction Railway, is a notable structure made of red sandstone, ashlar, and rusticated ashlar. On the downriver side, it features five round arches supported by battered rectangular piers with rock-faced rustication. There are ashlar bands at the level of the springing that support ashlar pilasters on the outer face. The voussoirs, which extend through the spandrels, are also rock-faced rustication, and each arch has an ashlar keystone. Above, there is an ashlar dentil cornice with an ashlar parapet behind. The upriver side is similar in design.
