Description
The Grand Junction Railway Viaduct, built around 1838 and designed by engineer J. Locke, is located just south of Aston Station, spanning the Birmingham/Fazeley Canal. This viaduct features three arches that rise from an embankment, with a fourth arch crossing over Lichfield Road. It is constructed of brick with ashlar dressings, showcasing elliptical arches that are adorned with stepped ashlar voussoirs. The channelled ashlar piers have block impost returns that serve as a string course beneath the skewed soffits of the arches.
