Description

An originally twin track railway viaduct. Snecked rubble construction with ashlar impost bands, a vermiculated stringcourse above arches, which have blue brick voussoirs and soffits; stone piers. Nine semi-circular 50' arches, built in equal sections of 3 arches with corbelled refuges on each third pier, and following a gentle curve; the viaduct narrows towards the east end. Chamfered ashlar plaque on the pier by Viaduct Road states 'ERECTED A.D. 1876-7 John Gardner M.Inst C.E. Engineer'. The viaduct is now a cycle track and footpath with fences on either side, and it is beginning to have a cover of vegetation.
