Description
Meer Bridge is a skew bridge built around 1869 to 1873. It carries a road over a railway line and features a long slope with brick retaining walls on one side. The bridge is constructed of red brick in English bond, with stone coping and a stone springing to a single segmental brick arch. It has side buttresses and a five-brick string course with a moulded upper brick on the outside of the walls, just above road level. The road slope begins parallel to the railway line and crosses diagonally to end at a right angle to the line on the opposite side. There is no trace of a further bridge that once carried the road over a former canal, which has since been replaced by an earth bank. The bridge was built for the London and North Western Railway and the Midland Railway's Ashby and Nuneaton Joint Railway.
