Description
The Osmondthorpe Subway is a railway underbridge built between 1830 and 1834 for the Leeds & Selby Railway, designed by Walker & Burges and constructed by Nowell & Sons.
This structure features a basket-arched design made from quarry-faced limestone and ashlar sandstone. It has a single span that accommodates four tracks. The arch begins at a quarry-faced impost band and is constructed with rusticated and v-jointed quarry-faced sandstone. It includes a slightly dropped and projecting keystone, with an ashlar string course positioned above. The wing walls are straight and raked, with stone-clad embankments added against them. The parapet showcases distinctive horizontal tooling, complemented by similarly detailed terminating piers.
