Series of 16 strainer arches in 5/45 railway cutting at SD 581 192 - II
Series of 16 strainer or "flying" arches in railway cutting for the Euxton Section of the Bolton and Preston Railway, 1842. Punched gritstone. Span 26 feet 9 inches, width of each arch 18 inches, intervals irregular but c.15 feet. Segmental arches carry solid spandrels, the coping of which sweeps down to a centre span composed only of voussoirs with a flat coping. Rare, though not unique, form of contemporary railway engineering (adopted here as alternative to a tunnel which proved too difficult to construct);probably by J. Alexander Adie.
