Description
Railway underbridge, 1845-1849, by AS Jee for the Huddersfield & Manchester railway.
MATERIALS: buff sandstone.
DESCRIPTION: the bridge carries the railway over Manchester Road at a slight angle, running north-south. It comprises a central span flanked by projecting piers, linked by in-line wing walls which subtly curve outwards at the ends and terminate in further piers.
The segmental-arch span springs from v-jointed rusticated abutments with canted corners and a projecting weathered impost band. The soffit, the walls beneath the span and the upper stonework are of regular-coursed quarry-faced stone. The voussoirs are also rusticated, unfortunately partly concealed by modern warning signs. The whole length of wing walls and span is topped by a deep ashlar single-course parapet with projecting impost band.
