Description

Railway skew basket arch overbridge, constructed for the Leeds & Selby Railway between 1830-34, to the designs of Walker & Burges; the contractors were Hamer & Pratt.

MATERIALS: squared and coursed quarry-faced limestone and sandstone ashlar.

PLAN: single-span with provision to accommodate four tracks.

One of a sequence of bridges on the Leeds & Selby Railway which share a common design. The wide arch springs from an impost band and has stepped, rusticated and v-jointed ashlar voussoirs. Wing walls are straight and the parapet is set upon a square-moulded ashlar string course; both parapets have been raised by courses of ashlar and it is understood that the original coping has been re-used.
