Description
Railway viaduct 326m in length, with 24m main arch over the river Lledr and six smaller arches, the first spanning the A 470 askew. Massive construction of local slatestone blocks, snecked and rough-shaped, with Penmaenmawr stone dressings and red brick soffits. The arches have dressed voussoirs below plain archrings and are surmouinted by a sham-machicholated parapet, shallow-stepped and with 'arrow slits' over the arches; plain capping. Flanking the main, road and grouped lesser arches, are semi-circular turrets with refuges ornamented with battlements in three tiers above. Incised into a block on a road-flanking turret is the inscription: ' O Gethin D Jones, Penmachno, 1879'.
