Description
This is a public road bridge built around 1846-1848, which crosses the cutting of the Preston to Liverpool railway. It was constructed for the Liverpool, Ormskirk and Preston Railway Company and is made of rock-faced sandstone. The cutting walls on both the north and south sides are approximately 130 meters long and feature a slightly concave batter. These walls include a moulded band and parapets made of larger blocks with rounded coping that ramps up to meet the bridge. The bridge itself has a stilted segmental arch that springs from the cutting walls, with the bands and parapets continuing around from these walls. This structure forms a group with the Derby Street Railway Bridge located to the north.
