Description
The Redbrook Incline Bridge, built from coursed blocks of red Forest of Dean sandstone conglomerate, features dressed voussoirs for its arches. It has a single round-headed arch approximately 3.15 meters high that spans the B4231, with a circular opening on the uphill side to the north-east. To the south-east, there are three low arches, with the northernmost arch allowing a stream to flow beneath it. The bridge's top surface measures 6 meters in width and is flanked by 1-meter high parapets on both sides, which are capped with flat stone slabs. The width of the bridge indicates that it was a self-acting incline with two lines of rails. As the bridge crosses the Redbrook to the south, it enters England, making part of the structure located in Gloucestershire, specifically in the civil parish of Redbrook, Forest of Dean District Council.
