Description
Tees Bridge is a railway viaduct that carries two tracks over the River Tees. It was built between 1838 and 1841 and designed by Henry Welsh for the Great North of England Railway Company. The bridge is constructed from sandstone ashlar and is approximately 100 metres long. Both faces of the bridge are similar, featuring four segmental skew arches supported by slightly battered piers. These piers have projecting low rounded cutwaters with shallow-domed tops.
The faces of the bridge include sunk decorative panels with roll-moulded borders and chamfered impost bands. Above each pier, the narrower section of the wall breaks forward and has a similar sunk panel with a dropped keystone. The arch tunnels, voussoirs, and spandrels display chamfered rustication. The bridge has a flat-coped horizontal parapet, which is defined by two stepped bands at track level and breaks forward above the piers to create rectangular-plan pedestrian refuges, although some of these have been destroyed. The end piers of the parapet feature low pyramidal caps. There are late 20th-century parapet railings and rendered embankment-retaining walls. Part of the bridge is located in the Civil Parish of Hurworth.
