Description
MATERIALS: some original red brick in the arch rings and lower piers (and possibly soffits), otherwise elevations and parapets refaced in red engineering brick with purple engineering brick detailing. English bond.
DESCRIPTION: a triple-span overbridge with semi-elliptical arches and sweeping hump-back profile. Central arch with standard 30ft (9m) span; side arches are lower and have 20ft (6m) spans. Piers with a single transverse arch each. Plain purple engineering brick string course (originally moulded). Parapets terminate in piers projecting on the outer face only, at the ends of the raked and curved wing walls. The inner face of the parapets have low chamfered plinths. Coping is bull-nosed purple engineering brick except for the terminating piers, which have quarry-faced stone blocks.
The bridge is isolated in a rural landscape, but it is inter-visible with the near-identical Bourton Church Bridge (MLN17169), ½ mile up the line towards Didcot.
