Description
Bridge under the Leeds, Dewsbury & Manchester Railway, mid-1840s, by Thomas Grainger.
MATERIALS: rock-faced sandstone with ashlar dressings.
DESCRIPTION: Churwell Bridge is located approximately 328m south-east of Elland Road and is an underbridge carrying the Leeds, Dewsbury & Manchester Railway line. The bridge is similarly detailed on both sides and is constructed of coursed local rock-faced sandstone with a semi-circular arched span that springs from rock-faced jambs and an ashlar impost band, and incorporates voussoirs with tooled margins bordering the arch intrados. The bridge's wing walls project forward to each side of the span and curve around in an arcing formation terminated by short square piers. Above the arch and topping the wing walls are large ashlar coping stones with a roll-moulded outer edge. As the bridge is an underbridge it does not have a parapet.
