Description
The railway viaduct, built in 1867 for the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway Company, is located approximately 15 metres west of the road bridge over the River Mole. This ornamental structure is made of red brick with stone dressings. It features four semi-circular arches supported by rectangular piers that have curved cutwaters. The piers include imposts, while the arches are adorned with arch-bands and keystones. Each spandrel contains a roundel made of raised brick. A moulded stone string-course, which is composed of three courses of moulded brick, runs tangentially across the tops of the arches. Above this is a balustraded parapet with square brick banded balusters and moulded stone coping. The soffits of the arches are constructed in winding courses of brick. The ornamental design of the viaduct was requested by Thomas Grissell, a railway contractor and landowner in the area.
