Old North Road Bridge, HUL4/13

The Old North Road Bridge is a railway underbridge built to accommodate the Great North Road, constructed for the Leeds & Selby Railway between 1830 and 1834, designed by Walker & Burges.

It is made of local sandstone and features a single-span design with provision for four tracks. This bridge is part of a series of structures designed by Walker & Burges for the Leeds & Selby Railway, all sharing a similar design. The arch begins from a tooled ashlar impost band and is made up of stepped, rusticated, and v-jointed ashlar voussoirs that extend to the underside of the arch. The bridge is flanked by raked and angled wing walls made of squared and coursed quarry-faced masonry, topped with ashlar coping. The parapet sits on an ashlar string course and features distinctive horizontal tooling that ends in curved piers, which are characteristic of this railway line.

It is noted that modern metal railings attached to one of the original parapets and a raised platform structure are not considered to have special architectural or historic interest.
