Description
GOATHLAND MOORGATES SE 89 NW 13/117 Moorgates Cattle Arch GV II Originally railway bridge. c.1845. For the York and North Midland Railway Company. Rusticated sandstone with tooled dressings. Single semicircular arch of shaped voussoirs on chamfered imposts between pilaster buttresses. Moulded cornice beneath plain parapet with sloped coping. Buttresses rise through cornice to form terminal piers to parapet. Raked quadrant abutments with flat coping, and terminating in square piers, form retaining walls on each side. Piers have shallow pyramidal caps. Bridge was built beneath the original Whitby to Pickering railway line, to facilitate the movement of cattle without driving them across the line. Line was superseded in 1865 with the opening of the improved Deviation Line.
