Description

A 3-bay viaduct built in 2 phases, of which the wider section on the W side is 1837-41, the narrower section on the E side of 1861-2. Both phases are of coursed rock-faced stone. In the centre is a wide elliptical arch across the river springing from projecting impost bands (the inner sides of the piers now strengthened with concrete). The narrower round-headed outer arches span unclassified roads. The parapet comprises replaced steel railings on original hammer-dressed coping stones. Abutting stone retaining walls are built against the outer arch abutments, except the SE side which is an earthen bank.
