Description

Skell Railway Bridge, built between 1845 and 1848, is constructed of rockfaced sandstone with ashlar dressings. It features three segmental arches supported by rusticated voussoirs and has buttresses, a band, and a coped parapet.

Construction began on 20 October 1845, and the section between Ripon and Thirsk opened on 5 January 1848, with the specific section between Weeden and Ripon opening on 13 September 1848.
