Description

The railway bridge located to the southwest of the Cemetery Chapel was built in 1839 by engineer C. G. Vignoles and has undergone later repairs. It is constructed of red brick with stone dressings. The bridge features a single wide semi-circular brick arch with plain spandrels, a plain stone band above, and brick parapets topped with stone copings. The walls of the bridge splay outwards at each end and terminate in square piers. This structure is part of the Midland railway.
