Great Northern Railway Bridge Number 184

Great Northern Railway Bridge Number 184 is a railway viaduct built in 1850 by engineer Lewis Cubbitt. It was strengthened in 1910 and 1914, with additional work done in 1924. The bridge is constructed of cast iron and white brick, featuring ashlar dressings. It has three shallow arches, each made up of six curved members acting as girders, supported by two sets of twelve cast iron baseless fluted Doric columns, which rest on two cast iron caissons sunk in the river. An ornate iron balustrade tops the bridge. The abutments are made of white brick with moulded ashlar details, while some areas have been patched with blue engineering bricks. The side sections of the bridge consist of blue brick around the arches. In 1924, another steel bridge was built to the west to double the capacity, but this section is not considered of special interest.
