Description

This is a public road bridge over a railway, built around 1846-1848 for the Liverpool and Bury Railway Company. The engineers responsible for its design were James and William Thomson. The bridge is constructed from sandstone ashlar and features a segmental arch with imposts that extend through the structure. It has broad flanking pilasters, a moulded band, and a parapet made of large blocks with ridged coping. The bridge is part of a group that includes the west portal of the Up Holland Tunnel, located approximately 400 meters to the east.

It experiences an average of 30 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 65% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
