Details MATERIALS: elevations and parapets appear to be entirely refaced in red engineering brick with purple engineering brick detailing. English bond. Stone for high mileage (west) parapet only. DESCRIPTION: triple-arched bridge with sweeping hump-back profile. Central arch with standard 30ft (9m) span; side arches are lower and have 15ft (4.6m) spans. Piers with a single transverse arch each. Tie-rod with square plates to each spandrel. Plain purple engineering brick string course (originally moulded). Parapets terminate in piers projecting on the outer face only, at the ends of the curved wing walls. The inner face of the parapets have low chamfered plinths. Coping on the low mileage (east) parapet is bull-nosed purple engineering brick; on the high mileage (west) parapet it is stone. The end piers have quarry-faced stone coping stones.
