Description

Avon Bridge is a railway bridge over the River Avon, built in 1839 by Isambard Kingdom Brunel for the Great Western Railway. It is constructed from squared, dressed Pennant stone and is designed in the Gothic style. The bridge features a wide central span and smaller flanking spans, each with four-centred arches that have moulded archivolts springing from cutwaters. The drip mould and rolltop parapet coping break forward around the semi-octagonal buttresses on the piers and abutments, creating refuges on the permanent way.
