Description
Oxley Viaduct is a railway viaduct built between 1847 and 1849 by Robert Stephenson and William Baker for the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway Company. It is constructed of blue brick with ashlar dressings and features twelve segmental arches, each with ashlar impost bands and a platt band above. The structure includes a stone-coped brick parapet. Notably, the third arch from the north is a skew arch that spans the Birmingham Canal Navigation, featuring rusticated ashlar voussoirs, while there is a blind round-headed arch to the south. This viaduct is regarded as an impressive and early example of its kind.
