Description
The railway bridge over the River Trent, built in 1851, was designed by Clayton, Shuttleworth and Co. of Lincoln for the Great Northern Railway Company. It features red brick, ashlar, and iron materials. The south side of the bridge has three elliptical ashlar arches with rusticated voussoirs. Above these arches is an ashlar band topped with an ashlar coped brick parapet, along with ashlar cutwaters. To the north, there is a decorative iron single span bridge, also by Clayton, Shuttleworth and Co., which includes lattice girding and iron railings, flanked by large single rusticated ashlar piers. The northern part of the iron span lies within the parish of Stoke Bardolph.
