Description
Parkside Bridge is a railway overbridge built around 1847 to provide access to Birk Hagg Farmhouse. It was designed by Joseph Locke and constructed by Thomas Brassey for the Kendal and Windermere Railway.
The bridge is made of quarry-faced local limestone and features a single-span design. It is part of a series of bridges by Joseph Locke that share a common style. The bridge has an elliptical arch made of alternating voussoirs that extend to the underside, springing from an impost band. The arch is flanked by slightly projecting, battered abutments. The parapet walls are splayed at both approaches and rest on a moulded string course. These walls consist of two courses of large rectangular blocks topped with flat coping stones. The deck of the bridge supports an unmetalled track.
