Disused Railway Bridge

This disused railway bridge, built with red brick in English bond and limestone bedding courses, supports a former railway track bed that runs east-west. It features two segmental arches: the western arch spans over Farndon Road, while the eastern arch crosses an excavated unpaved roadway, allowing for greater vertical clearance for high-sided vehicles.

The north and south sides of the bridge are identical, each showcasing two segmental arches that spring from chamfered stone imposts. These arches meet at a central brick pier topped with a chamfered stone cap and consist of five lower courses of header-bond brick. Flanking the arches are shallow brick pilasters that terminate at the parapet coping, with string courses running the full width of each elevation at the level of the track bed. On either side of the elevations, splayed brick revetments with brick-on-edge coping descend to square-section piers, which help retain the earth embankment of the raised track bed. The parapets are plain, featuring brick-on-edge coping. The undersides of the arches display brickwork arranged in diagonal skewed courses, offset by five bricks. To the east, there is a raised walkway made of English-bond red brick with bullnosed engineering brick coping, which is protected by a timber railing.
