Description
Black Moss Bridge is a railway overbridge built around 1847 for the Kendal and Windermere Railway, designed by Joseph Locke and constructed by Thomas Brassey. It is made of quarry-faced local limestone and features a single-span design.
This bridge is part of a series of bridges designed by Joseph Locke for the railway, all sharing a similar design. The elliptical arch consists of alternating voussoirs that extend to the underside and spring from an impost band. The arch is flanked by slightly projecting, battered abutments that end in slim piers. The splayed parapet walls sit on a moulded string course and are made of small limestone blocks topped with flat coping stones. The arch soffit has a concrete render, and the deck supports a metalled lane with a modern kerb.
