Description
The Five Arches Railway Viaduct, built between 1836 and 1837, is a railway bridge that carries the former London to Birmingham Railway over the River Colne. Designed by R. Stephenson, the viaduct features five brick arches, each with a span of approximately 40 feet and standing 45 feet high at the center. The brick arches have projecting courses at the springing and parapet levels. At each end, the abutments include two shallow depressed arches. The structure was widened in 1857-58 and again in 1875, but the original bridge remains intact on the west side. The viaduct is documented in J. Bourne's drawings of the London and Birmingham Railway from 1839.
