Railway Bridge At Kiveton Bridge Station

The railway bridge at Kiveton Bridge Station was built around 1849 for the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway, designed by engineer John Fowler. It is constructed from coursed, squared, rock-faced limestone with a brick soffit. This single span skew-arched bridge allows a road to cross over the railway. The segmental arch rises from abutment walls and features an ashlar band across the intrados, with voussoirs arranged in narrow courses within the spandrels. Battered buttresses flank the arch and are connected by a rock-faced band and an ashlar band beneath a deeply-coursed parapet, which is topped with iron railings. The parapet on the south-west wing wall is missing.
