Bridge and aqueduct, carrying Beverley Beck over the Barmston Drain

The bridge and aqueduct, which carries Beverley Beck over the Barmston Drain, was built in 1801 and designed by William Chapman as part of the Beverley and Barmston Drainage scheme. It is made of red brick with ashlar dressings. The curved north face features three small segmental ashlar arches with keystones and rounded ashlar cut-waters. Above these arches is a brick band, followed by an ashlar band. The plain brick parapet is topped with ashlar coping. The south face of the bridge is similar to the north. Segmental arches or tunnels below connect the two facades. The Beverley and Barmston Drainage Act was passed in 1798 to drain the marshes west of the Hull river, and the scheme was completed in 1810 at a cost of £115,000.
