Description
The Lady Ann Road Subway is a railway subway for the Leeds, Dewsbury & Manchester Railway line, built in the mid-1840s by Thomas Grainger. It underwent modifications to the west wing walls and portal between 1851 and 1892.
The subway is made of squared and coursed quarry-faced sandstone and features a change in ground level, descending from east to west. The eastern face has a semi-circular arch made of stepped, rusticated quarry-faced voussoirs with tooled margins. This arch springs from a quarry-faced impost band that has chamfered top and bottom edges. Above, there is a triangular parapet made of two large stone slabs, set upon a finely-tooled concave-moulded string course. The abutments are slightly raked, and there are straight and curving short wing walls on either side with finely-tooled square-plan coping, which run into the embankment but appear to end in short piers.
The western face is higher and slopes down to the left. Its semi-circular arch is constructed of ashlar with stepped voussoirs, positioned between slightly battered abutments. The straight and curving wing walls on this side are also made of squared and coursed quarry-faced sandstone, with the right wing wall featuring particularly large stone blocks.
