Durley Lane Bridge (MLN111439)

Durley Lane Bridge is a Grade II listed structure made of pennant stone, featuring squared and coursed stone on the faces and soffit, with ashlar dressings for the voussoirs, quoins, string course, and copings. The bridge has a depressed, four-centred arch with a span of 16 feet (5 meters), and the chamfered voussoirs end at the footings in chamfer stops. A low continuous chamfered plinth surrounds the external faces and the carriageway faces. The arch soffit and carriageway faces remain unaltered.

On both sides, the archway is flanked by stepped buttresses, which have offsets with a drip-mould and arris. Beyond the buttresses, the faces continue straight and parallel to the trackbed as wing walls, with a string course that runs across the full width of each and merges with the top of the upper offsets of the buttresses. A cast-iron pipe is attached to the south (Down) face, passing through the buttresses. The bridge features continuous parapets that end in projecting piers, with the piers and parapets connected by coping that has a sharply cut arris on the external face.

Post-war modifications include galvanised steel round section railings mounted above the coping on both sides. Beyond the east (low mileage) piers, there are 20th-century parapet extensions in stone, and on the south (Down) side, there are also pre-cast concrete sections. Additionally, there is a small post-war red-brick extension with access steps from the roadway up to the tracks, complete with a steel handrail. These 20th-century alterations are not considered of special interest.
