Nooning Lane Bridge (SPC6 12)

Nooning Lane Bridge is a 19th-century structure that carries Nooning Lane over railway tracks. The bridge features identical faces and consists of a single semi-elliptical arch made of rusticated V-channelled picked voussoirs with tooled margins. These voussoirs end as quoins on the soffit of the arch, which is constructed of skew-set red brick. The arch is supported by several courses of stone, including a band course with diagonally set springers of picked stone that also have tooled margins.

The wing walls slightly project to frame the arch and are made of picked stone with tooled margins, featuring a concave rake from about halfway down the arch. Above the arch, there is a tooled string course with a sloping upper edge that blunts the uppermost voussoirs. The parapet consists of one course of picked ashlar with tooled margins, topped by two courses of late-20th-century artificial stone and the original square-moulded, tooled gritstone coping. The string course and coping continue across the wing walls, which curve gently to end in projecting rectangular piers.
