Description

This bridge and underpass, located approximately 350 meters northeast of Old Warden Park, was built in the mid to late 19th century. It is a brick structure that is faced with rough concrete to mimic rusticated stonework. The parapet features trefoiled arcading, and the coping on the parapet and piers is made of terracotta. The underpass has a three-centred arched head, with vaulting that also imitates rusticated stonework.
