Description
This railway overbridge, built around 1847 for the Kendal and Windermere Railway, was designed by Joseph Locke and constructed by Thomas Brassey. It is made from quarry-faced local limestone and features a single-span design.
The bridge is part of a series designed by Joseph Locke for the railway, sharing a common architectural style. It has an elliptical arch with 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 straight parapet walls, which rest on a moulded string course, are made of small limestone blocks topped with flat coping stones. The arch soffit is rendered. The deck supports an unmetalled track and includes an attached stone gate pier and a partial stone kerb.
