Description

MATERIALS: quarry-faced local limestone.
PLAN: single-span.
One of a sequence of bridges designed by Joseph Locke for the Kendal and Windermere Railway, which share a common design. The elliptical arch has alternating voussoirs which continue to the undersides, and spring from an impost band. This is flanked by slightly projecting piers which extend down into the structure of the abutment. Attached are curving, coped wing walls which terminate in low pillars with caps. The parapet walls are set upon a moulded string course and are composed of small, squared limestone blocks with flat coping stones. There are pattress plates visible immediately below the string course and the arch soffit has an applied render. The deck carries a metalled road.
