Description

Quaker's Viaduct is a railway viaduct featuring three deep bays constructed from snecked stone with tooled dressings around the elliptical arches. The central piers have round-headed openings. Each face of the viaduct has projecting stone bands that mark the base of the coped parapets, which end in square piers above the abutments. The abutments are battered and support an embankment on either side.
