Description
Aqueduct Bridge Number 71 on the Settle and Carlisle Railway Line is a railway bridge and aqueduct built around 1870. It features coursed and dressed rubble stone along with blue engineering brick. The bridge has segmental blue brick arches to the north and south, supported by rock-faced stone piers. Shallow buttresses are located on either side, with a triangular abutment wall that is topped with a stone band and a parapet with stone coping. The aqueduct channel above gently curves over the bridge, with a curved channel floor and eight long steps descending from the north-west to the south-east. The channel has sloping side walls made of very irregularly shaped blocks of rock-faced stone, which are topped with similarly finished coping stones. Drystone walls rise above on either side.
