Culham Station Overbridge

Culham Bridge is a single span overbridge carrying Station Road over the GWR branch. It is built in red brick Flemish bond and has a semi-elliptical arch. The bridge has a string course to both external elevations, and a shallow projecting plinth on the internal parapet walls, part rendered, also copings of dressed stone. The original sloping retaining walls to the abutments survive trackside at all four corners. Stencilled black numbers (56 15) on a white ground can be found at the north-west and south-east parapet ends. These signify the distance from Paddington in miles and chains and are also found on the main GWR line. The parapets are slightly curved and terminate at square piers. Although it has been repointed, the bridge’s brickwork is essentially homogenous and original with only very minor repairs.
